Recurrent Renal Cell Cancer Stage IV Renal Cell Cancer | Radiation: stereotactic body radiation therapy Procedure: therapeutic conventional surgery Other: laboratory biomarker analysis | Not Applicable |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess the impact of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) on the immune system in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess changes in immune parameters prior to radiation, post radiation and post nephrectomy.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess surgical parameters for partial or radical nephrectomy post SBRT.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo SBRT on day 1 and undergo partial or radical nephrectomy on day 29.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days.
