Our genitourinary team has a new publication out, "Stereotactic Radiation for Systemic Therapy-naïve Oligometastatic Kidney Cancer: Final Results of a Phase 2b Trial," in European Urology Oncology, that summarizes an important advancement in renal cell carcinoma care.

This Phase 2b trial is the first to prospectively validate sequential SAbR as a disease-control strategy, demonstrating durable control without compromising quality of life. Raquibul Hannan, M.D., Ph.D., Chief of Genitourinary Radiation Oncology Service, is lead author; Robert Timmerman, M.D., is senior author.

Other authors from our Department include: Ryan Assadi, D.O., medical resident; Aurelie Garant, M.D., and David Sher, M.D. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4598Umd

Dr. Asal Rahimi, Chief of Breast Radiation Oncology Services, led a groundbreaking study that has found a single, high-dose, precisely targeted radiation treatment delivered before surgery can dramatically reduce and, in many cases eliminate, early-stage, hormone-positive breast tumors.

Key findings:
- 72% of patients had no detectable tumor at follow up if surgery was done 9 months after radiation
- An additional 21% experienced >90% tumor reduction
- Treatment was delivered in one session, rather than weeks of radiation

“This approach has the potential to fundamentally change how we treat certain breast cancers,” says Dr. Rahimi. The findings, published in JAMA Network Open and featured by D Magazine, could pave the way for less invasive, more patient-centered treatment options and improved quality of life for thousands of women.

The research is currently in its Phase II trial, fine-tuning the approach and aiming to increase complete tumor resolution rates.
