Oncology for the Inquisitive Mind returns to its regular broadcasting schedule and discusses metastatic renal cell cancer (ccRCC). As not to be outdone, Josh takes a cultural tangent exploring the world of opera after seeing "The Hours" broadcast through Met: Live in HD. While Josh doesn't sing this episode, he highlights this opera's parallels with cancer patients undergoing treatment. To avoid losing sight of this podcast's purpose, Michael and Josh soon find their way. They discovered that metastatic renal cell carcinoma has many treatment options, including targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or even combining these two modalities! Tune in to find out where the evidence currently stands.
