  1. Dear , Thank you for reaching out to Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) and nationally acclaimed experts of the National Cancer Grid (NCG). Navya is pleased to offer this online expert cancer consultation service for assessing your treatment options. We converted your case reports into a structured summary to be reviewed a radiation oncologist in the Uro Oncology Disease Management Group at Tata Memorial Centre, an internationally renowned expert radiation oncologist, faculty at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and an expert medical oncologist from the National Cancer Grid, a consortium of 206 cancer centers with the mandate to standardize cancer care nationally. We asked the following question(s) on your behalf: 1.Given the intermediate-risk group (as mentioned in the structured summary), what is recommended at this time: immunotherapy or an alternate treatment? 2.Is radiation therapy recommended at this time? 3.Are additional diagnostic tests recommended at this time? The TMC NCG Navya opinion is summarized as follows: 1.Immunotherapy with either one of the options is recommended at this time: a.Immunotherapy with Pembrolizumab and targeted therapy with Axitinib. OR b.Immunotherapy with Ipilimumab and Nivolumab. 2.Given the intermediate risk, debulking nephrectomy (i.e. surgical removal of kidney) is not indicated/recommended at this time. 3.Additionally, diagnostic test with MRI scan of lumbar spine is recommended at this time. 4.Given symptomatic (i.e there are significant symptoms due to the presence of cancer cells/lesion(s)/ tumor(s)) for bone pain, radiation therapy to the painful bony sites to ease/relieve symptoms is recommended. 5.Further, continuing the ongoing bisphosphonate therapy with Denosumab or with Zoledronic acid is recommended. We hope that the expert opinion is helpful in determining the course of your treatment. Please discuss this opinion with your treating oncologist(s).

  2. Navya Evidence and Experience Engine is used to assess treatment options derived from clinical trials that pertain to your specific medical history and tumor characteristics as well as analysis of tumor board decisions of patients similar to you treated at internationally renowned tertiary care expert centers. Navya, who provides online cancer consultation, is pleased to provide the following information on treatment recommendation(s) per the Navya Evidence Engine, which includes the globally accepted guidelines for the treatment of cancers by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN); and the Navya Experience Engine based on the collective experience of experts at Tata Memorial Center and the National Cancer Grid. 1.Immunotherapy with either of the options are recommended at this time: a.Immunotherapy with Pembrolizumab IV 200 mg once every 3 weeks (Rini 2019) or 400 mg once every 6 weeks along with targeted therapy with Axitinib 5 mg twice daily and until disease progression or dose limiting toxicity. OR b.Immunotherapy with Nivolumab IV 3 mg/kg once every 3 weeks along with Immunotherapy with Ipilimumab IV 1mg/kg once every 3 weeks for up to 4 combination doses, followed by monotherapy with Nivolumab IV 240 mg once every 2 weeks (Motzer 2019) or 480 mg once every 4 weeks until disease progression or dose limiting toxicity. 2.If immunotherapy is not accessible/affordable, targeted therapy with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors with either of the following regimens may be considered: a.Sorafenib 400 mg/m2 twice daily until disease progression or dose limiting toxicity . OR b.Sunitinib 50 mg/m2 once daily for four weeks, every six weeks until disease progression or dose limiting toxicity. OR c.Pazopanib 800 mg daily until disease progression or dose limiting toxicity. 3.After completing recommended immunotherapy and/or targeted therapy, assessment of response (i.e. whether the tumor(s)/lesion(s) in the body have decreased/not increased/increased) with CT scans with oral and iv contrast of the chest/abdomen/pelvis or PET CT scan of the whole body is recommended. 4.Radiation therapy to the painful bony sites to ease/relieve symptoms with either one of the options is recommended: a.Single fraction i.e. radiation therapy at a dosage of 8 Gy for one fraction. Single fraction radiation should be repeated in future, as and when needed (i.e. when there is pain in the bones i.e. pain due to presence of cancer cells /lesions in the bones).

  3. b.30 Gy in 10 fractions OR c.20 Gy in 5 fractions 5.Given bone metastases, bisphosphonate therapy with Zoledronic acid 4 mg or Denosumab 120 mg every four to six weeks is recommended. If your treatment plan involves complex details such as a choice of immunotherapy vs targeted therapy or enrollment in a clinical trial or bone marrow transplant, etc., please write to us at reports@navya.care We will prioritize a response based on clinical urgency as it pertains to your receiving on time care. Questions on managing ongoing side effects of cancer treatments such as pain, mouth sores, fever, infection, bleeding, etc. are only suited for in person examination with your local treating oncologist(s)/physician(s). These questions are not amenable to an online expert review. Navya is focused on assessing your cancer treatment options. If you are a financially underprivileged patient or receiving treatment under the General Category of any hospital, please reach out to us after you complete your current therapies (surgery or chemotherapy or radiation, etc.) We will assess your treatment response and continue to provide your next treatment plans at no cost. Please do not hesitate to write to us or call us with any questions.
