New PET scan to detect kidney cancer in complex cysts
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a special PET scan that may help doctors see if a complex kidney cyst is cancerous before surgery. It is for people who are already scheduled to have surgery to remove a kidney mass.

This trial uses a special PET scan to detect if kidney cancer remains or returns after treatment. It may help find cancer that's hard to see on other scans.
This study monitors people who have complex kidney cysts to see how they should be followed over time and whether it helps guide treatment. You may get regular imaging (scans), and you’ll be asked to complete questionnaires in English or French.
This trial tests a new PET/CT scan that uses a special tracer to find clear cell kidney cancer. If you are scheduled for kidney tumor removal, this scan may help your surgeon see the cancer more clearly before surgery.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan (called 68Ga-NYM096) to see if it can help find different types of cancer. The scan may help doctors get clearer pictures of where cancer is in your body.
This trial uses a special imaging scan (68Ga-C1 PET/CT) to see kidney cancer more clearly. It helps doctors find and understand clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a common type of kidney cancer.
This trial tests a new PET scan tracer called [68Ga]Ga-XT771 to see if it can better detect glioblastoma (a type of brain tumor) and clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a type of kidney cancer). If you have one of these cancers, this scan might help your doctor see the tumor more clearly.
