Summary
Oligoprogressive renal cell carcinoma (OP-RCC) is a specific form of kidney cancer. Salvage stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) shows promise for local disease control in OP-RCC patients.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Radiation Oncology
Background:
- Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most prevalent kidney cancer.
- Oligoprogressive RCC (OP-RCC) is defined by limited metastatic progression during systemic therapy.
- Current primary treatment standards for OP-RCC are not well-established.
