New PET scan to measure kidney function before surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a special PET scan that may help doctors predict how well your remaining kidney will work after part of it is removed. It could help guide surgery decisions and improve long-term outcomes.

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 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 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.
This study tests whether a special PET scan (using a radioactive tracer called rubidium-82) can help doctors better understand how aggressive a kidney cancer is before surgery. If you have a medium-sized kidney tumor that looks like clear cell cancer and you are scheduled for surgery, you may be able to join.
This study tests a new PET/CT scan (68Ga-MY6349) to see how well it finds tumors before surgery. If you have a confirmed tumor that your doctor plans to remove, the scan might give a clearer picture to guide the operation.
This study tests a new type of PET scan that uses a tracer called 68Ga-RCCB6 to see kidney cancer more clearly. It compares this scan to another PET scan (68Ga-PSMA) to help doctors stage the cancer, check treatment response, and detect any return of the disease.
