Sound wave surgery zaps kidney tumors in first human test
Disease control CompletedThis study tested a new device that uses focused ultrasound (histotripsy) to break apart solid kidney tumors without making any cuts. Twenty adults with small, non-spreading kidney tumors were treated. The main goals were to see if the device could fully cover the tumor and if th…

3D models may speed up kidney surgery
Symptom relief CompletedThis study tested whether using a 3D model of a patient's kidney before surgery could shorten the time needed for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (removing a kidney tumor). 370 adults with small kidney tumors took part. The goal was to see if better planning with 3D imaging …

New pain block may speed recovery after kidney surgery
Symptom relief CompletedThis study tested whether a nerve block called an erector spinae plane block can reduce pain and the need for painkillers after robotic-assisted partial kidney removal. Forty-six adults aged 18-70 were randomly assigned to receive either the nerve block or standard care. The goal…

Robotic surgery vs standard approaches: does the platform change cancer outcomes?
Knowledge-focused CompletedResearchers at a large hospital in Seoul reviewed records from nearly 33,000 adults who had curative-intent surgery for one of seven cancers in the abdomen or pelvis: pancreatic, gastric, rectal, cervical, endometrial, kidney, or prostate. They grouped patients by whether they re…

Glow-in-the-dark dye may help surgeons spot hidden cancer in kids
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis study is testing whether a green dye called ICG can help surgeons see tumors more clearly during surgery in children and teens with solid tumors. The dye is injected before surgery and makes tumor tissue glow under a special camera. The goal is to see if this technique helps…

Gene hunt: why does sunitinib work differently in kidney cancer patients?
Knowledge-focused CompletedThis completed study enrolled 43 people with kidney cancer who were starting sunitinib (Sutent). Researchers measured the drug's level in the blood and checked for genetic differences that might affect how the body processes it. The goal was to understand why sunitinib levels var…
