Light-based imaging for kidney tumor surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special camera that uses light to help surgeons see kidney tumors more clearly during robot-assisted surgery. It may help your doctor remove the tumor more precisely while saving healthy kidney tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a kidney tumor that is 7 centimeters or smaller.
- You are scheduled for robot-assisted surgery to remove part of your kidney.
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You have not had surgery on the affected kidney before.
- Your tumor is not completely hidden inside the kidney; it has some part visible on the outside.
- You are not currently taking drugs that suppress your immune system.

This study tests a new 3D imaging system (RUS NE) to help surgeons perform robot-assisted partial nephrectomy more safely and effectively. If you have a small to medium-sized kidney tumor and are already scheduled for this surgery, the researchers want to compare your outcomes to people who had the standard procedure.
This trial compares different surgical methods for removing kidney tumors using a single-port robot. It aims to find the best approach for treating stage 1 kidney cancer.
This study uses 3D imaging to help surgeons perform robotic removal of just the kidney tumor (not the whole kidney) for people with complex kidney tumors. The goal is to make the surgery safer and more precise, preserving as much healthy kidney function as possible.
This trial tests a new robotic system for removing kidney tumors up to 7 cm. It aims to see if the technology helps surgeons perform partial nephrectomy (removing only the tumor) safely and effectively.
This trial tests if a 3D kidney model made with artificial intelligence helps surgeons remove a kidney tumor (partial nephrectomy) more precisely. It may help preserve healthy kidney tissue while treating the cancer.
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.
