Ultrasound scan to check kidney cancer return after ablation
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan with contrast can help doctors find kidney cancer that comes back after a procedure called ablation. It may help improve monitoring by comparing the ultrasound results with CT or MRI scans done soon after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had cryotherapy or microwave treatment to treat kidney cancer (RCC) previously
- You have CT or MRI scans with contrast available before your ablation treatment
- You are getting (or already had) a contrast CT or MRI to check for cancer returning within 4 weeks of the ultrasound study
- You are 18 years old or older
- You are medically stable enough for study visits and testing
- If you could become pregnant, you have a negative pregnancy test, and you can sign consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new PET scan (a special imaging test) to better grade kidney cancer before surgery. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors understand how aggressive the cancer is, so they can plan the best treatment for you.
This trial uses a special ultrasound with a contrast agent to see how well a liver cancer treatment called TACE is working. It may help doctors better understand if the treatment is shrinking the tumor.
This study tests new criteria for evaluating how well thermal ablation (using heat to destroy cancer nodules) worked in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC, a type of liver cancer). It aims to improve follow-up imaging with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) or CT/MRI to see if the treatment was successful.
This trial uses a special PET scan to see if kidney cancer remains or has come back after treatment. The scan helps doctors find cancer cells more precisely, which may guide better treatment decisions.
This trial tests a special PET scan to see if it can better find leftover kidney cancer after surgery compared to a standard CT scan. You may qualify if you had kidney cancer surgery within the last 4-16 weeks and are at high risk of the cancer coming back.
This study tests a new type of radiation therapy that targets kidney cancer cells. It is for people whose cancer has returned or spread after at least two prior treatments, and aims to see if it can shrink tumors and slow the disease.
