Metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) can present with oligometastatic disease and/or develop oligoprogression following systemic therapy. Cytoreductive and focal metastasis-directed therapy options include resection, stereotactic ablative radiation and thermal ablation. Aggressive focal therapy may allow delay in initiation of or modification to systemic therapy and improve clinical outcomes.

- Recent studies show that stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) can effectively treat renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a type of kidney cancer once thought to be resistant to radiation.
- The article emphasizes the importance of practical guidelines for patient selection and treatment planning, particularly for complex cases like solitary kidneys or large tumors.
- The guide, supported by the Radiosurgery Society, includes case studies and discusses key aspects such as tumor size, radiation dosages, and advanced imaging techniques for assessing treatment response.
