Urine test for classifying kidney cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a special urine test can help identify the exact type of kidney cancer you have without needing a biopsy. The test analyzes tiny particles from your urine to personalize your treatment plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have already given a urine sample that is stored in a research biobank.
- You must have a type of kidney cancer called renal cell carcinoma that is considered high-risk based on standard medical guidelines.
- You must be planning to have surgery to remove your kidney (nephrectomy).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for tiny substances in urine (called exosomes) to see if they can help identify clear cell kidney cancer. It compares urine samples from people having planned kidney surgery with people having surgery without a scheduled plan.
This study follows people with newly diagnosed kidney cancer who have not started treatment. It tests whether a special blood test can monitor the cancer over time, alongside standard follow-up after planned surgery.
This study looks at genetic features of kidney cancer by testing tumor samples. The goal is to find biomarkers—specific signs—that may help predict what kind of kidney cancer it is.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can help doctors tell if a kidney mass is cancer before surgery. It aims to improve how kidney masses are classified and guide treatment decisions.
This study tests whether a simple urine test can accurately identify cancer in the bladder, ureters (tubes between kidneys and bladder), or renal pelvis (part of the kidney). You would provide urine samples before your planned surgery, and researchers will compare the urine test results to your actual tissue diagnosis after surgery.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test can detect tiny bits of kidney cancer DNA after surgery. If successful, it could help doctors spot a return of cancer earlier than scans alone.
