Abstract: Renal carcinoma is one of the most common cancers, with a low survival rate in advanced stages. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been used, but resistance is common. A total of 1923 articles were analyzed between 2021-2024. After selection, 25 articles were reviewed, considering clinical trials and randomized studies, in English or Portuguese, with free full text. Lenvatinib, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been studied in combination with other agents, such as immunotherapy, showing efficacy in various types of advanced cancer. In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), combination with tislelizumab and cadonilimab showed promising efficacy, while in thymic carcinoma, lenvatinib was effective but required dose reduction. However, the combination of lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab for HCC was discontinued due to lack of additional efficacy. In cholangiocarcinoma, combination with toripalimab and GEMOX chemotherapy was effective, and in renal cell carcinoma, lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab significantly improved progression-free survival. In endometrial carcinoma, the combination also showed significant benefits. Despite this, not all combinations were successful, highlighting the need for more controlled studies. In summary, lenvatinib has shown to be a versatile and effective therapy in advanced cancers, especially in combination with immunotherapy, offering new hope where treatment options were limited.
