Summary

This study looks at whether a special type of ultrasound (contrast-enhanced ultrasound, or CEUS) can better find kidney cancer that has returned after a procedure called ablation. About 210 adults who had cryotherapy or microwave therapy for kidney cancer will get a CEUS scan, and doctors will compare it to standard MRI or CT scans. The goal is to see if CEUS improves detection of cancer recurrence.
