Non-systemic treatment of metastatic kidney cancer: systematic review and a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

To date, there is insufficient literature on the local treatment options for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Various options, such as metastasectomy, thermal ablation, and stereotactic body radiotherapy, have gained attention for their potential to improve survival and quality of life in selected patients' groups. This systematic review analyzes the effectiveness of these approaches and highlights their potential to improve survival outcomes.
