ABSTRACT
Sunitinib, a high cost drug, is used in renal
cell carcinoma (RCC) treatment. The aim of
the study was to evaluate the clinical response
in progression-free survival of patients with
renal cell carcinoma in hospitals of the Caja
Costarricense de Seguro Social from 2007
to june 2012.
Methods: observational, crosssectional,
prescription-indication study. A survival
analysis was conducted in 48 patients.
Outcomes: Global survival was 17.7 months
and progression-free survival median was
13.2 months. Patients older than 60 years old
had longer survival time than youngers, 14.8
(IC95% 13.15-16.39): 10.8 (IC95% 8.57-
13.10).
Conclusion: progression-free survival
showed was longer than one year. Global
survival in patients with renal cell carcinoma
exposed to sunitinib was longer than reported
in clinical trials.
