New PET scan to detect kidney cancer in complex cysts
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary 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.
