Abstract

Although renal cell cancer (RCC) was shown to be radioresistant to conventionally fractionated radiation therapy (RT) both in vitro and in vivo, mounting preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that it is quite sensitive to hypofractionated RT, particularly stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SAbR). In the setting of primary RCC, SAbR has been applied effectively in multiple retrospective and early phase prospective trials with favorable toxicity. In this chapter, we will review the current literature and cover the technical considerations for the setup, treatment planning, and delivery of SAbR for primary RCC.
