Cryo treatment with partial kidney surgery for kidney tumors
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at using a cold (cryoablation) treatment along with partial kidney surgery to treat certain kidney tumors. It may help shrink or control the tumor while preserving more healthy kidney tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 90 years old
- Your kidney tumor is 7 cm or smaller at its widest point
- More than half of the tumor sticks out from the kidney surface
- You have not had previous surgery on the same kidney
- Your cancer has not spread to distant organs (no M1 disease)

This study tests a new, gentle way to remove small kidney tumors using a robot. The goal is to avoid cutting off blood supply to the kidney and to leave healthy tissue behind. It may help you keep more kidney function while still treating the cancer.
This trial studies a robot-assisted surgery to remove part of the kidney while keeping the kidney cool to protect it. It may help patients who need this type of kidney surgery.
This trial compares two standard treatments for small kidney tumors: removing the tumor surgically (resection) or destroying it with heat or cold (ablation). The goal is to see which approach works better for tumors 3 cm or smaller.
This study tests a freezing technique called cryoablation for people with small lung tumors (3 cm or less) who cannot have surgery or standard treatments. The procedure is done through a bronchoscope, a thin tube passed through the mouth into the lungs.
This trial enrolls children whose doctors decide they need a freezing procedure called cryoablation. The study looks at how this treatment is used in infants and children, including situations where it may be difficult or not possible at some point.
This study tests if freezing a very small early-stage breast tumor (cryoablation) can be as effective as surgery. It may be an option for people whose tumor is small enough and hasn't spread to lymph nodes or elsewhere.
