Better imaging for kidney cancer before surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have a kidney mass that's at least 1 cm wide, seen on a prior scan.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the mass within 1 month.
- You are willing to have a PET/CT scan with a radioactive tracer before surgery.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking part in another trial that might interfere.

This study tests a special imaging agent (89Zr-TLX250) to help doctors see clear cell kidney cancer during PET/CT scans. It is for people in China who have a single small kidney mass and are already scheduled for surgery to remove it.
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 whether a special PET/CT scan (68Ga-NY104) can help guide radiation therapy for people with clear cell kidney cancer. The goal is to make radiation more precise and effective for treating tumors that haven't spread too much.
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 Phase 1 study tests whether a special PET/CT scan drug ([18F]PT2385) can help doctors see kidney cancer and related tumors. It may help guide diagnosis and treatment decisions, especially in people planning surgery or starting belzutifan.
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.
