Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Renal Tumors

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Renal Tumors

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the response of actively growing renal masses to stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). We retrospectively reviewed our institutional review board–approved kidney database and identified 4 patients who underwent SBRT, 15 Gy dose, for their rapidly growi...

We retrospectively reviewed our institutional review board–approved kidney database and identified 4 patients who underwent SBRT, 15 Gy dose, for their rapidly growing renal masses. Three patients had a decreased tumor size after radiation treatment by 20.8%, 38.1%, and 20%. The other patient had a size gain of 5.6%. This patient maintained a similar tumor growth rate before and after SBRT. Mean follow-up time was 13.8 months. SBRT represents an effective management option in select patients with larger rapidly growing kidney masses.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214442014000795OncologyRadiotherapyKidneyTumor
