ABSTRACT
Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is a hereditary disorder associated with malignant tumors including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Partial nephrectomy is complicated by multilocular tumor occurrence and a high recurrence rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) as an alternative treatment approach in VHL patients with multiple ccRCC. Patients with VHL and a diagnosis of ccRCC were enrolled. SBRT was conducted using five fractions of 10 Gy or eight fractions of 7.5 Gy. The primary endpoint was local control (LC). Secondary endpoints included alteration of renal function and adverse events. Seven patients with a total of eight treated lesions were enrolled. Median age was 44 years. Five patients exhibited multiple bilateral kidney cysts in addition to ccRCC. Three patients underwent at least one partial nephrectomy in the past. After a median follow-up of 43 months, 2-year LC was 100%, while 2-year CSS, 2-year PFS and 2-year OS was 100%, 85.7% and 85.7%, respectively. SBRT was very well tolerated with no acute or chronic toxicities grade ≥ 2. Mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline was 83.7 ± 13.0 mL/min/1.73 m2, which decreased to 76.6 ± 8.0 mL/min/1.73 m2 after 1 year. Although the sample size was small, SBRT resulted in an excellent LC rate and was very well tolerated with preservation of kidney function in patients with multiple renal lesions and cysts.
