Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy

• Technologic advances now permit precise delivery of

ultra-high doses of conformal radiation with steep dose

gradients to minimize dose to adjacent normal tissues

• Focally ablative radiation overcomes the

preconception of RCC being a “radio-resistant” tumour

• Advantages:

1. Non-invasive, outpatient treatment

2. Not limited by tumour size or location

3. Well-tolerated

4. Low cost
