ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring how effective a special type of ultrasound, called contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), is in detecting recurrent renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after patients have undergone treatment like cryotherapy or microwave therapy. The goal is to see if CEUS can help doctors find and track the return of kidney cancer more effectively after these treatments.
To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and have previously received cryotherapy or microwave therapy for RCC. You should also have had a CE-MRI or CE-CT scan before your treatment and be scheduled for another one within four weeks of the CEUS study. It's important that you're medically stable, and if you are a woman of child-bearing age, you will need a negative pregnancy test. Participants will receive CEUS imaging to help monitor their condition, and they will be part of a study that aims to improve how doctors diagnose and manage recurrent kidney cancer. If you have any serious health issues, or if you are allergic to the contrast agent used in the ultrasound, you may not be eligible for this study.
