The growing incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) raises many questions about the management of these patients. The late clinical presentation, the presence of locally advanced or metastatic disease at diagnosis, the difficulty of radical surgical excision, and radioresistance make it one of the more challenging tumors to treat. The primary objective of this article is to propose an updated and critical review of the role of radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of RCC.

Abstract
The growing incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) raises many questions about the management of these patients.

The primary objective of this article is to propose an updated and critical review of the role of radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of RCC.File in questo prodotto:
