Radiation blast before surgery aims to tame aggressive kidney cancer
NCT ID NCT02473536
Summary
This study is testing if a short, high-dose radiation treatment given before surgery is safe and effective for people with kidney cancer that has grown into a major vein (the IVC). The goal is to see if this approach helps control the cancer, reduces the risk of it spreading during surgery, and improves how long patients live without the cancer returning. It involves 25 participants who are newly diagnosed and eligible for both the radiation and the surgery.
