Clear cell carcinoma is the most common form of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Metastatic RCC is poorly responsive to treatment and has a bleak prognosis. Newer systemic agents have improved outcomes. Furthermore, their interaction with radiation treatment (RT) may provide further therapeutic options. RCC is considered to be radioresistant, however we report the case of a patient with progression on targeted therapy and immunotherapy who achieved a substantial and sustained local, and possibly abscopal, response to low dose palliative radiation therapy.

This chapter summarizes the findings of the landmark CheckMate 025 trial for the new class of drugs of immune checkpoint blockade in advanced renal cell cancer. The trial randomized patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who had failed antiangiogenic therapy to systemic therapy with nivolumab versus everolimus and found improved overall survival and fewer treatment-related adverse events in the nivolumab arm.
