Using MRI to guide treatment for small kidney tumors
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether MRI scans can help doctors make better decisions about treatment for small kidney tumors. If you have a kidney mass up to 4 cm and are planning surgery, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a kidney mass (tumor) that is 4 centimeters or smaller.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the kidney mass.
- You are able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants, pacemaker, or claustrophobia).

This trial tests a new robotic system for removing kidney tumors up to 7 cm. It aims to see if the technology helps surgeons perform partial nephrectomy (removing only the tumor) safely and effectively.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation therapy for small, early-stage kidney tumors that cannot be surgically removed or are at high risk for surgery. It aims to offer an alternative treatment with fewer side effects.
This study uses MRI scans to help doctors better identify the type and severity of kidney tumors. It may lead to more accurate diagnoses without needing extra tests.
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation to kidney tumors using MRI guidance. It aims to treat early-stage kidney cancer while sparing healthy tissue, and may be an option for people who cannot have surgery or prefer not to.
This trial uses ultrasound elastography and regular MRI to better identify solid kidney masses. It may help improve how these masses are diagnosed and treated.
This registry follows people who have a small kidney mass found by chance on recent scans. It helps doctors understand the best timing for monitoring and possible treatment, to improve safety and outcomes.
