NCT ID NCT07243067

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks for protein markers in urine and blood that could help identify different types of kidney cancer without needing a biopsy. Researchers will analyze stored urine samples from 300 people and collect blood before and after kidney removal surgery. The goal is to develop a noninvasive test to classify kidney tumors and predict cancer spread.
