Brief summary
Whether patients with stage III clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) should receive adjuvant targeted therapy or not is still on debate. The investigators invented a multimodal recurrence scoring system that was successfully categorise patients with stage III clear cell renal cell carcinoma into high-risk and low-risk groups with Hazard Ratio (HR) of 6.21. Here the investigators randomly assign assay-defined high risk patients of locally advanced ccRCC into adjuvant targeted therapy group and observation group. Disease free survival and overall survival are the end points of observation.
Interventions
The investigators randomly assign multimodal recurrence scoring system defined high risk patients of stage III ccRCC into intervention group and observation group. The intervention group should receive adjuvant targeted therapy while the control group deserve observation

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Disease free survival | From the date of registration to up to 10 years | Disease free survival (DFS) was defined as the time interval (in years) from the date of randomization to the first date of recurrence or occurrence of a secondary malignancy or death. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival | From the date of registration to up to 10 years | Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. |
