We chose to treat this patient with Cyberknife radiation which she tolerated well. Although no randomized prospective trials exist in regards to systemic treatment following metastasectomy, we decided to offer her systemic therapy given that she is young and that there are restrospective studies showing improved progression free survival benefit. No overall survival benefit is known at this time for systemic therapy in this situation.

Which systemic therapy did you offer? The case had stated that she was working as a nurse at time of diagnosis. If she had insisted on working, I would consider pazopanib based on the more favorable QOL measures and noninferior PFS when compared to sunitinib. Does the retrospective data favor one targeted agent in this setting?

We chose to treat her with Sunitinib. If she had more extensive metastases then and not just the one site of relapse that was able to be treated by local Cyberknife then I believe pazapanib may be a better choice for the reasons you listed above. At the time of this patients treatment, Sunitinib was being used extrapolating data from Adjuvant trials, but now based on the ASSURE trial there is no role for adjuvant Sunitinib.
