Partial Volume High-Dose Irradiation in Renal Cell Carcinoma for Intra-TUmoural Control ALongside Current Management - a Randomised Feasibility Study
About This Trial
Prospective, randomised, feasibility study of patients with localised or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) comparing standard palliative dose radiotherapy to a high-dose hypofractionated regime. Primary aim • To demonstrate feasibility of a randomised study comparing high-dose hypofractionated radiotherapy versus standard palliative dose radiotherapy in localised or metastatic renal cell carcinoma The aim is to recruit a minimum of 24 patients; 12 to the control arm and 12 to the high-dose regime. 2 treatment arms, no placebo: * Control arm - standard palliative-dose radiotherapy, 30Gy in 10 fractions in 3Gy per fraction over 2 weeks * High-dose arm - high-dose radiotherapy, 30Gy in 5 fractions in 6Gy per fraction on alternate days/2-3 fractions a week over 2 weeks
