Overview

Through the neoadjuvant treatment with a combination of Cardonilli and Lenvatinib, it enabled the successful and safe implementation of partial nephrectomy in patients with localized renal cancer, who had indications for nephron-sparing surgery but faced considerable difficulty in preserving the kidney (T1b with an endophytic component ≥75% or T2)

        and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment protocols, laboratory tests, and other
        requirements of the study.

          -  Cancer thrombus in renal vein
          -  The tumor is diffuse and has no clear boundary with normal renal parenchyma

             treatment for other benign and malignant tumors, or have a history of other malignant
             tumors within the past six months
          -  Metastatic kidney cancer.
          -  Received Chinese herbal medicines with anti-tumor indications or immunomodulatory
             effects within 14 days prior to the first use of the study drug

             replacement therapy; Only a steady dose of insulin replacement is required for type 1
             diabetes.

          -  The presence of any past or current medical condition, treatment, or laboratory test
             abnormality that may confuse the study results, interfere with the subject's full

             subject's best interest.
