Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for Radiation Resistant Bone Tumours (SOLAR-P)
Background: Up to 30% of patients with advanced kidney cancer may develop bone tumours which have spread from their primary kidney cancer. These bone tumours can be painful and significantly reduce a patient’s quality of life. In other cancers, radiation therapy is a mainstay treatment for bone...
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) with Ipilimumab and Nivolumab for Advanced Kidney Cancer (CYTOSHRINK)
Background: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is used to treat cancers using substantially higher doses of radiation than conventional radiotherapy. This technology is able to deliver higher doses of radiation to a tumour, while limiting the dose of radiation to nearby normal tissues. The drugs used in...
Stereotactic Ablative Radiosurgery (SABR) for Kidney Tumours
Background: Radiation is commonly used to kill cancer cells and shrink tumours. Stereotactic Ablative Radiosurgery (SABR) is used to treat cancers using substantially higher doses of radiation than conventional radiotherapy. This technology is able to deliver higher doses of radiation to a tumour, while limiting the...
