New study tracks heat therapy for kidney tumors
NCT ID NCT07465458
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study watches 226 adults with small kidney tumors (stage T1a) who get radiofrequency ablation, a treatment that uses heat to destroy cancer cells. Researchers will track how well the procedure works and any side effects. No extra treatments or tests are given—just normal care is observed.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Patient selection criteria will be those typically established by each participating center t with T1a primary renal tumors for which a Multidisciplinary Tumor Board has indicated as candidates for treatment with radiofrequency ablation.I Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years * Signed informed consent approved by the Ethics Committee prior to the ablation procedure. * RCC in stage T1a (size \<4 cm), single or multiple, histologically demonstrated by percutaneous biopsy before or within 30 days prior to ablation * Absence of comorbidities that contraindicate treatment * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) 0-2 at baseline screening. Exclusion Criteria: * No specific exclusion criteria are established for this clinical registry due to its observational nature. Each center will apply its own criteria according to its routine clinical practice.
