Summary

This trial is testing a new, non-invasive treatment for small renal tumors. The goal is to see if it is effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with small kidney tumors (≤5cm) that have been biopsy-proven and shown growth. Participants must be able to undergo MRI or CT scans, use effective contraception if of childbearing potential, and not be pregnant. Those who've had prior treatments for the renal mass or have metastatic disease (with exceptions) can't join.
What is being tested?
The study is testing Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy (SABR), a non-invasive treatment targeting small growing renal tumors. It's a phase II trial aiming to assess how well this therapy works in eliminating cancer cells without surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of SABR may include fatigue, skin reactions at the treatment site, nausea, changes in urinary habits, and abdominal pain. The exact side effects can vary based on individual patient factors.
