Scientists map hidden tumor diversity in rare kidney cancer
NCT ID NCT06195150
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand why kidney tumors in people with VHL syndrome can be different from each other. Researchers will use advanced imaging, multiple biopsies, and lab-grown tumor models to map these differences. The goal is to learn more about the disease, not to test a new treatment directly. Only 3 participants with VHL and at least 3 kidney tumors needing surgery will take part.
