We reviewed the current medical literature to present the prognostic markers and current treatments of Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) and to propose new and innovative treatments for RCC. A PubMed search (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/) was performed and prognostic markers in RCC were reviewed and presented here. We hypothesize our own innovative theoretical research in new treatments for RCC. This includes a combination formed of an anticancer vaccine (VAX-x), which prevents the emergence of drug-resistance to (DRUG-x), with its corresponding anticancer drug (DRUG-x), administrated after immunological response to (VAX-x), can be employed to successfully treat and cure RCC in its various stages. We therefore propose that new treatment options of RCC are possibly VAX-x with either of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors-sunitinib or sorafenib
