The treatment of renal cell carcinoma has achieved certain curative effects with the innovation of clinical drugs, such as sunitinib. However, the clinical efficacy and complication rate of the sunitinib 2/1 and 4/2 schedule in metastatic renal cell cancer remain unclear. In this study we aimed to resolve this issue by using meta-analysis to provide more theoretical guidance for clinical use. Several outcome measurements were included in this study to compare the 2 schedules such as complete response, partial response, stable disease, progressive disease, progression-free survival, overall survival, and complications. In the contrast analysis, the sunitinib 2/1 and 4/2 schedule resulted in significant improvements in prognosis. However, the sunitinib 2/1 schedule was superior to the 4/2 schedule in terms of controlling stable disease and causing fewer complications.
