OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the literature on SABR for primary RCC and perform a meta-analysis evaluating local control (LC), toxicity, and renal function. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: A PROSPERO-registered (#115573), Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA)-based systematic review of the literature was conducted (1995-2019).
