AB  - Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is usually treated with 
surgery, with or without systemic therapy. For select 
patients, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) may 
be a suitable alternative. Although many reports exist on 
the successful use of SBRT, very few have described long term outcomes with regard to disease progression and 
renal function. We report a rare case of a single patient 
with primary, metastatic, and locally recurrent renal cell 
carcinoma who was successfully treated with SBRT. The 
patient has been disease-free for 8 years since treatment, 
with stable renal function even after two courses of SBRT 
to her solitary functioning kidney.
