RESUMEN
This article is a review of the literature that aims to clarify the place of systemic and locoregional treatments, with a focus on radiotherapy and surgery in the management of patients with oligometastatic kidney cancer. We have selected articles of interest published in Medline indexed journals. We have also analysed the related guidelines: National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) 2019, European Association of Urology (EAU) 2019, European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2019, Association française d'urologie (Afu) 2018 as well as some abstracts of international congresses. The main treatments evaluated were surgery and radiotherapy. We defined the different scenarios conventionally encountered in clinical practice. The evolution of systemic therapies (increased overall survival and response rate) is likely to increase the number of patients potentially accessible to locoregional treatments. The complete analysis of the literature underlines the place of locoregional treatments whatever the scenarios mentioned. Data on stereotactic radiotherapy found a local control rate consistently above 70% in all studies with a maintained response and positive impact on overall survival and progression-free survival. The improvement of overall survival by sequential use of the various therapeutic classes confirms the need for optimization of locoregional treatments in the model of oligometastatic kidney cancer. The dogma of radioresistance must definitely be set aside with current irradiation techniques.
