Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of the primary tumor in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in medically inoperable patients and/or patients who refuse surgery. Standard treatment of RCC is surgery. A number of non-surgical treatments of RCC are also available, but are highly invasive and are associated with significant side effects. SBRT is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment that requires tumor immobilization and image guidance in order to deliver a very precise, high-dose treatment. This trial will assess the use of SBRT to treat primary renal tumors by determining the maximum tolerated dose and toxicity. Subjects enrolled in this study will then be followed and evaluated for toxicity, serum chemistry, complete blood count, and urinalysis. In addition, they will undergo renal scans to assess the functionality of their renal tissue.
