Shankar Siva, Radiation Oncologist at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, shared a post on X by Daniel Heng, Head of Medical Oncology at the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Calgary, adding:

“TFS (treatment breaks) at 1 year is approximately 90% with SABR; for selected patients, this might be the optimal choice!”

Quoting Daniel Heng’s post, about a paper he co-authored with colleagues published in European Association of Urology:

“Treatment-free survival is becoming an important endpoint when looking at different mRCC treatments. VEGF alone had the shortest TFS. Something to be said about treatment breaks.”
