Purpose/Objective: Analysis of data from NWTS-1 and 2 revealed that a delay in initiating RT beyond 10 days after nephrectomy was associated with poor outcomes. This review was peformed to evaluate the effect of RT delay on abdominal tumor recurrence among stage II–IV favorable histology (FH) patients enrolled in NWTS-3 and 4.
