Background: This multicentric, retrospective study investigated the use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients (pts) with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) who experienced oligoprogression during a combination therapy with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) and a tyrosine–kinase inhibitor (TKI). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 34 pts affected by oligoprogressive RCC treated with an ICI–TKI combination between January 2020 and December 2023. SBRT was delivered to each site of oligoprogressive metastatic disease. After SBRT, pts were given follow-up clinical evaluations. 6–12–18-month local control (LC) rates and median next-line treatment-free survival (NEST-FS) were the primary endpoints. The secondary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), clinical benefits and safety. Results: After a median follow-up of 24 months, 6–12–18-month LC rates were 100%, 71% and 43%, respectively, and the median NEST-FS was 20 months. ORR was 90%, while clinical benefit was 100%. No > G2 adverse events related to SBRT were recorded. Conclusions: In our study, SBRT for oligoprogressive mRCC turned out to be a safe and useful treatment which was able to preserve current treatment. Further prospective studies are necessary to explore the effects of the ICIs–TKIs combination and SBRT upon oligoprogressive sites in mRCC.
