Currently the mainstay drug therapy for advanced renal cancer is vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (VEGFR TKi, such as sunitinib, pazopanib and axitinib) and inhibitors of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR, such as everolimus or temsirolimus) [1–3]. Here, MTOR is linked to renal carcinoma.
