Abstract

There is a need for the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies to effectively treat advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Inhibition of stearoyl-coA desaturase 1 (SCD1) in ccRCC reveals antitumor activity, independently and in synergy with mTOR inhibition. SCD1 may be a potential novel therapeutic target in treating ccRCC.
