New study aims to predict cancer recurrence in kidney and ureter cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07452432
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 300 Korean adults with high-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (a type of cancer in the kidney or ureter) to monitor for cancer recurrence. Participants will receive standard treatment (chemotherapy before surgery to remove the kidney and ureter) and provide blood samples to detect tumor DNA. The goal is to build a database that helps doctors better predict and track cancer return in the future.
