Deskripsi

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have improved the clinical outcomes of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), however TKI-related diarrhoea is a common and serious adverse effect. Here the authors show in a randomized clinical trial that faecal microbiota transplantation from healthy donors can improve TKI-induced diarrhoea in patients with mRCC.
