Brain metastasis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in renal cancer patients. Treatment of metastatic renal cancer is difficult because most of RCCs are resistant to several therapeutic strategies: main studies support surgery as a therapeutic option in patients with good performance status, limited systemic disease, single brain metastasis but also in some patients with a limited number of metastases; on the other side, use of whole brain radiotherapy is still controversial.

Abstract
Brain metastasis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in renal cancer patients. Treatment of metastatic renal cancer is difficult because most of RCCs are resistant to several therapeutic strategies: main studies support surgery as a therapeutic option in patients with good performance status, limited systemic disease, single brain metastasis but also in some patients with a limited number of metastases; on the other side, use of whole brain radiotherapy is still controversial.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
