The article below contains nothing revelatory to anyone who already knows a bit about this area but it is a very good conspectus of the current state of play. It's potentially valuable for those just diagnosed and a useful re-cap for the rest of us.

My onc must be in tune with these findings. My clear cell had 40% sarcomatoid features and was Grade 4. It wasn't responding to Votrient, so we just started the chemo. Will let everyone know how things go.
