Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) has a very high rate of mortality since it does not respond to conventional therapies such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Furthermore, in the majority of cases, metastases are already present at the time of diagnosis. The objective of our study is to develop a noval treatment for RCC, using a dendritic cell (DC) vaccine. An animal model of RCC, RENCA, was used to develop the vaccine.
