Summary

This study tests a special PET/CT scan that uses a radioactive tracer called [18F]PT2385 to see kidney cancer in more detail. It is not a treatment—it is an exploratory imaging study. About 35 adults with kidney cancer will get the scan, and some will also have a biopsy to compare scan results with tissue samples. The goal is to see if the scan can accurately measure a protein called HIF2α, which is linked to cancer growth.
