About

The study includes the recruitment of patients with advanced renal cells carcinoma and hepatocarcinoma in treatment with sorafenib. Multicenter cohort study. It is a prospective observational study.

Full description

Several tyrosin kinase inhibitors are able to induce hypophosphatemia but the mechanisms underling this metabolic disorder are unknown.

Sorafenib is probably the drug in which this metabolic disturbance is most frequent. The aim of the study is identify variation of blood serum analites involved in hypophosphatemia in patients with advanced renal cells carcinoma and hepatocarcinoma in treatment with sorafenib.

Enrollment: 60 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. age over 18 years
2. Histologically documented kidney cancer or hepatocarcinoma
3. Performance status more than / equal to 2
4. Life expectancy > 12 weeks
5. in patients with recent surgery, the wound should be completely healed before taking Sorafenib
6. required initial laboratory values: absolute neutrophil count > 1500/ul Platelets > 100,000/ul., Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dl, Creatinine, SGOT, SGPT less than 2.0 X upper limit of normal Bilirubin less than/equal to upper limit of normal(ULN)

Exclusion criteria
