Renal Mass Biopsy, PEER, and 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT for Patients With Clinically Localized Renal Tumors

Sponsor: Loyola University

Summary

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.
