While surgical resection remains the gold standard for treatment, some elderly and frail patients may not be suitable candidates for this procedure. In selected cases, ablative therapies provide less invasive alternatives. Recent research has highlighted the potential of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) as a non-invasive, well-tolerated, and effective treatment for RCC. This review aims to examine recent advances in SBRT for localized RCC, focusing on patient selection, treatment modalities and delivery, as well as efficacy and tolerance assessment.</div></div><div><h3>Material and methods</h3><div>A narrative literature review of English articles using Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane, Google Scholar and Science Direct databases was performed focusing on prospective and relevant retrospective studies.

Therefore, some indications for its use in clinical practice have been purposed according to the available evidence and recommending a case by case discussion in a uro-oncology multidisciplinary setting to optimize patient selection and treatment planning.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7145,"journal":{"name":"Actas urologicas espanolas","volume":"50 1","pages":"Article 501857"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145898162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
