About this trial

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were significantly altered in localized as well advanced RCC compared to healthy samples. In addition, GAG scores correlated with progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) in a prospective cohort of patients with metastatic ccRCC and localized RCC. However, it is still unknown whether alterations in plasma and urine GAGs are exquisitely specific to RCC or are shared by other benign lesions in the kidney, such as angiomyolipomas, oncocytomas, or PEComa.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients who underwent CT-scan with suspicion of renal tumor and the scans show no sign of renal cancer.

For patient with ccRCC or oncocytoma, they should have a histological verified tumor (Biopsy or surgical specimen)

Disqualifiers

Non-clear cell Renal cell carcinoma

RCC with pure sarcomatoid differentiation, also called sarcoma of the kidney

Use of heparin for concurrent disease in need of blood dilution (e.g. ongoing deep vein thrombosis or lung emboli). Note: use of of heparin for thrombus prophylaxis in conjunction with primary surgery or postoperatively ≤4 weeks will be allowed.
