• Skeletal-related events (SREs) are common in patients with bone metastases from renal cell carcinoma (RCC). • Radiotherapy (RT) provides pain relief in patients with bone metastases from RCC, but rarely achieves objective response. • Combination of RT with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization results in higher objective response and post-RT-SRE-free rates compared with RT alone and is a promising treatment for bone metastases from RCC, as it.
