Hypothesis: Stereotactic ablative body radiation (SAbR) prolongs progression-free survival for patients with oligometastatic kidney cancer (RCC) and delays the initiation of systemic therapy. Primary Objectives: • To evaluate the delay in time to start of systemic therapy (TTST) as a surrogate of progression free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the first day of SAbR to start of systemic therapy. Secondary Objective: * To evaluate the modified progression-free survival (mPFS) for patients with oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma who are treated with SAbR. * To evaluate the overall survival (OS) * To evaluate the cancer specific survival (CSS) * To evaluate the local control rate of irradiated lesions. * To measure the health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
The study is a prospective single institution phase II single-arm open-label trial evaluating SAbR in patients with newly diagnosed oligometastatic RCC. Problem Statements: * Can local therapy (SAbR) safely delay the start of systemic therapy? * Safely delaying the start of systemic therapy can have significant quality of life benefits for patients since systemic therapy has significant side effects. * Can SAbR be curative in truly oligometastatic RCC patients? Primary Endpoint: • Time to start of systemic therapy (TTST) defined as the time from the first day of SAbR to start of systemic therapy. Secondary Endpoint: * Modified progression-free survival (mPFS) is defined as the survival interval without development of \>3 sites of new metastasis, new sites of metastases that are not amenable to SAbR treatment, a total of \>6 sites of metastasis that required SAbR, local failure at SAbR-treated site, or development of brain metastasis. * Overall Survival * Local control * Toxicity * HRQOL Sample Size: 23 Patients will be enrolled. Statistical Analysis: Time to event will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier approach along with the 95% confidence interval.

Percentage of Participants With Delay in Time to Start of Systemic Therapy (TTST)
The percentage of participants with more than 1 year time to systemic therapy (TTST) will be reported for this outcome. Initiation of systemic therapy \>1 year (delay in time) is a surrogate of progression free survival (PFS) and is defined as the time from the first day of SAbR to start of systemic therapy.
Time frame: 1 Year
Modified Progression-free Survival (mPFS) for Patients Who Are Treated With SAbR
Modified progression-free survival (mPFS) for patients with oligometastatic renal cell carcinoma who are treated with SAbR. Modified progression-free survival (mPFS) is defined as the survival interval without development of \>3 sites of new metastasis, new sites of metastases that are not amenable to SAbR treatment, a total of \>6 sites of metastasis that required SAbR, local failure at SAbR-treated site, or development of brain metastasis, with the definition of new metastasis and local failure (progression) as defined by RECIST. "Metastasis" in this entire protocol refers to extra-cranial metastasis unless otherwise specified.
Time frame: 5.7 years
Progression-free Survival on Systemic Therapy (PFS-ST)
To evaluate progression on next line of systemic therapy as defined by RECIST 1.1 starting from mPFS (modified progression free survival). Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v 1.1) Committee \[Eur J Cancer. 2009;45(2):228-247\]. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in the RECIST v1.1 criteria.
Time frame: 5.7 years
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS), which is defined as the time between date of registration and the date of death due to any cause.
Time frame: 5.7 years
Cancer Specific Survival (CSS)
Cancer specific survival is defined as the time between date of registration and the date of death due to renal cell carcinoma.
Time frame: 5.7 years
Local Control
Radiographic progression with \>30% increase in the longest diameter of the treated lesions.
Time frame: 5.7 years
Median Response Duration
Median response duration is defined as the time between the date a response (CR or PR) was first seen until date of progression. Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v 1.1) Committee \[Eur J Cancer. 2009;45(2):228-247\]. Changes in only the largest diameter (unidimensional measurement) of the tumor lesions are used in the RECIST v1.1 criteria.
Time frame: 1.8 years
Time to Development of New Lesions
Interval time to development of new lesions that can be treated with additional local therapy- title would be this or a shortened version of it. Time to event will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier approach along with the 95% confidence interval.
Time frame: 5.7 years
Time to Disease Progression That Cannot be Treated
To measure the time interval from registration to time to disease progression that cannot be treated with further local therapy and need to initiate or switch systemic therapy. Time to event will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier approach along with the 95% confidence interval.
Time frame: 5.7 years
Toxicity Measurement
Severity or Toxicity will be assessed according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. Events have been counted if they are considered related to the investigational intervention included "possible," "probable," and "definite." To ensure transparency, all AEs with "unlikely" or greater attribution are included.

Change in Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL) FACT-G
HRQOL will be measured using FACT-G questionnaire responses from baseline to certain time points (3, 9, 15,21,27,33 months) until the completion of follow ups. FACT-G is a measure that sums the functional wellbeing (FWB), physical wellbeing (PWB), the social/family well-being (S/FWB), and emotional wellbeing (EMB).FACT-G total score range (0-108); Higher values indicate a better HRQOL.
