Abstract:
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has historically been considered resistant to radiotherapy. However, advances in the field of radiation oncology have led to safe delivery of higher radiation doses through the use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) that have shown significant activity against RCC. SBRT has now been shown to be a highly effective modality for management of localized RCC for nonsurgical candidates. Increasing evidence also points to a role for SBRT in the management of oligometastatic RCC as a means for not only providing palliation but prolonging time to progression and potentially improving survival.
