Abstract
AIMS To evaluate oncological and renal function outcomes of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for medically inoperable patients with localised renal cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients treated with curative intent SBRT (30-45 Gy in five fractions or 42 Gy in three fractions) were included. Data on local control (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] v1.1), distant metastasis, impact on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and proportional ipsilateral and contralateral renal functions (measured through renal scans) were collected. Univariate and multivariable analyses were conducted to determine association of variables with oncological and renal function outcomes. RESULTS Seventy-four patients were analysed. The median follow-up was 27.8 months (interquartile range 17.6-41.7). Fifty-seven per cent had tumours ≥ T1b. One-, 2- and 4-year cumulative incidence of local failure was 5.85, 7.77 and 7.77%, respectively. The cumulative incidence of distant metastasis at 2 years was 4.24%. On multivariable analysis, a lower planning target volume (PTV) mean dose (P = 0.019) and a larger PTV (P = 0.005) were significantly associated with the risk of developing local failure. A lower PTV maximum dose (P = 0.039) was significantly associated with the risk of developing distant metastasis. The median change in global eGFR (ml/min) from pre-SBRT levels was -7.0 (interquartile range -14.5 to -1.0) at 1 year and -11.5 (interquartile range -19.5 to -4.0) at 2 years. The proportion of ipsilateral (differential) renal function decreased over time from 47% of overall renal function pre-SBRT to 36% at 2 years, whereas the proportion of contralateral renal function correspondingly improved. On multivariable analysis, a higher volume of uninvolved renal cortex (P < 0.0001) was significantly associated with a smaller decrease in eGFR over time. CONCLUSION In this large institutional cohort, oncological outcomes of renal cell carcinoma treated with SBRT were favourable and a longitudinal decline in renal function in the ipsilateral kidney and compensatory increase in the contralateral kidney were observed. Clinical and dosimetric factors were significantly associated with oncological and renal function outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS We report on the first prospective series of patient-reported quality of life (QoL) following stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for primary kidney cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were treated on a multi-institutional prospective cohort study with 30-42 Gy SBRT in three or five fractions. QoL assessments were carried out using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-15 Palliative (EORTC-QLQ-C15-PAL), the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Kidney Symptom Index-19 (FACT FKSI-19) and the EuroQol-5D-3L tools at baseline, 1 week, and 1, 3 and 6 months post-treatment. QoL over time was analysed using linear mixed modelling, pairwise and anchor-based analyses. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients were included. No significant reduction in any QoL metric was observed on repeated measures. However, a trend to reduced EORTC global QoL and fatigue was observed at 1 week, with improvement over time in other symptom scores such as pain, appetite and nausea. On pairwise analysis, there were statistically significant reductions in global QoL at 1 week (with subsequent recovery) and dyspnoea at 6 months post-SBRT. Trends to improved pain, appetite and nausea were observed following SBRT. Less than half of patients reported stable or better EORTC global QoL at 1 week. For all other QoL and symptom scales, most patients had reported stable or better scores at all times, with a slight proportional improvement in emotional functioning, nausea, fatigue, pain and appetite, and a slight worsening of physical functioning and dyspnoea over time. CONCLUSIONS SBRT results in well-preserved QoL in the weeks to months following treatment for primary kidney cancer.
