MONDO:0005549A carcinoma arising from the renal parenchyma. There is a strong correlation between cigarette smoking and the development of renal cell carcinoma. The clinical presentation includes : hematuria, flank pain and a palpable lumbar mass. A high percentage of renal cell carcinomas are diagnosed when an ultrasound is performed for other purposes. Radical nephrectomy is the standard intervention procedure. Renal cell carcinoma is generally considered to be resistant to radiation treatment and chemotherapy.

Radiation implants take aim at inoperable kidney cancers
Disease control Stopped earlyThis early-phase study tests a type of internal radiation called brachytherapy for people with large kidney tumors (4-10 cm) that cannot be removed by surgery or ablation. A small radiation source is placed directly into the tumor to kill cancer cells. The goal is to see if this …

Brain cancer trial halted early: can Memory-Sparing radiation help when tumors return?
Disease control Stopped earlyThis phase III trial compared two radiation strategies for cancer that had spread to the brain and returned in new spots after initial radiosurgery. One group received focused radiation only to the new tumors, while the other received whole brain radiation that avoided the memory…
