At a press conference during the ASCO 2012 Annual Meeting in Chicago, June 1st - June 4th, Dr Bernard Escudier presented results from a randomised, double-blind study of patients with metastatic kidney cancer.  

 

The study found that the quality of life differences patients experienced between two FDA-approved therapies were enough to demonstrate a strong preference for pazopanib over sunitinib.
