Background: stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is a disruptive radiation therapy technique which is increasingly used for the treatment of urologic cancers. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an overview on the current landscape of SABR in urologic cancers and highlight advancements on the horizon.
Methods: a narrative review of the contemporary role of SABR in urologic cancers is conducted.

Purpose Of Review: This review addresses the evolving role of metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) in the management of oligometastatic and oligoprogressive renal cell carcinoma (RCC). With advances in both surgical techniques and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), it is timely to explore how MDT can improve patient outcomes in these distinct disease states. The review highlights the potential of MDT to delay systemic therapy and improve quality of life while noting the lack of randomized clinical trial data guiding its use.

Background: The use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to definitively treat oligometastases in prostate cancer has drawn large clinical and research interests within radiation oncology. However, the evidence is considered in its early stages and there is currently no systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in this field. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBRT as metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) in oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPC) compared to no MDT reported in RCTs.

Purpose: Ablation is a promising approach for eliminating intrathoracic metastases. We compared the effectiveness of a combination of metastasis-directed ablation and systemic therapy with that of systemic therapy alone for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) having pulmonary oligometastases.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed 679 patients with HCC and pulmonary oligometastases from seven tertiary hospitals.

Background: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging can detect prostate cancer (PCa) nodal oligorecurrences (NOR) at very low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Prospective studies on oligorecurrent (OR) PCa have been hampered by either dated diagnostics or inhomogeneous cohorts and/or treatment approaches. We hypothesized that early and-if necessary and feasible-repetitive PSMA-PET-based metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) using stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) would improve freedom from palliative (systemic) therapy at low toxicity.
