Radiation Strategies for Oligoprogressive RCC: Insights from VIRO 2025 with Dr. Raquibul Hannan

At Global Voices in Renal Oncology (VIRO) 2025, organized by OncoDaily, Dr. Raquibul Hannan, Chief of the Genitourinary Radiation Oncology Service at UT Southwestern Medical Center, delivered a talk on “Radiation Approaches for Oligoprogressive RCC.”

He discussed the role of radiotherapy in oligoprogressive renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and highlighted the opportunities offered by stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SAbR). Dr. Hannan outlined which patients benefit the most from this approach and the key parameters used to select candidates, emphasizing how SAbR can be integrated with systemic therapies. He presented study examples, including one in which he served as first author, showing that progression-free survival (PFS) with SAbR can be nearly twice as long as with radiotherapy alone.
