Targeted immunotherapy alone vs standard targeted therapies

Quality of life: improved to an important degree · previously treated patients with mRCC

Targeted immunotherapy alone probably leads to higher quality of life: Clinically relevant improvement in FKSI‐DRS compared with standard targeted therapies (moderate certainty).
