New MRI technique could spare thousands from unnecessary kidney surgery
NCT ID NCT03470285
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a detailed MRI scan (multiparametric MRI) can accurately tell the difference between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) small kidney tumors. About 387 adults with small kidney masses (1.5-4 cm) were scanned before surgery or biopsy. The goal was to see if the MRI could reliably identify benign tumors, so that some patients could avoid unnecessary surgery. The results could help doctors choose the best treatment—or even just monitoring—for each person.
