Abstract Sunitinib is an orally available inhibitor of multiple tyrosine-kinase receptors approved for the treatment of advanced clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a disease which has habitually had a very poor patient survival rate. Although it has become themost widely used drug for this disease, it remains not completely clear the best treatment strategy with these agent. The aim of this review is to highlight the most recent and interesting aspects of the research on treatment of advanced ccRCC with sunitinib and eventually determine alternative treatment schedule to reduce the incidence of side effects; we also wanted to review recent biomarkers able to predict response to therapy and also to point out the mechanism of acquired resistance to this drug.
