About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to better tell apart whether kidney tumors are benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer) based on a biopsy or imaging tests and ask patients how they feel about decisions they make about treatment of their kidney tumor.

The main objectives are:

To estimate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of renal mass biopsy alone, PEER (with renal mass biopsy), and 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT (with renal mass biopsy for hot tumors) to differentiate malignant and benign renal tumors.

To estimate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of renal mass biopsy, PEER (with renal mass biopsy), and 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT (with renal mass biopsy for hot tumors) to differentiate oncocytoma from chromophobe RCC.

Participants will be asked to complete survey questions related to their health and kidney tumor at the start and end of the study. These can be done on paper, electronically, or by telephone.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Participants diagnosed with a clinically localized (cT1) renal tumor ≤7cm in size with a solid component suspicious for malignancy based on cross-sectional imaging

Pre-existing CT images of the mass with and without contrast or planned CT to ensure both with and without contrast images of the mass have been obtained within a 365-day window

Participants must be greater than or equal to 18 years of age

Eligible or planned to undergo partial or radical nephrectomy as determined by primary urologist

Disqualifiers

Participants must not be pregnant (as determined by local policy by radiology / imaging center)

Participants must not have evidence of clinical nodal or distant metastasis.

Participants must not have had a history of other malignancy with concern for renal metastasis.

Participants must not have any known allergy to technetium or sestamibi.
