Evaluating Sunitinib Therapy in Renal Cell Carcinoma Using F-18 FDG PET/CT and DCE MRI

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT00537056

Age - 18 Years-N/A Condition - Kidney (Renal Cell) Cancer, Kidney - Advanced Gender - All Accepting Healthy Volunteers - No

Purpose

To learn whether Flourine-18 Fluoro-deoxi-glucose positron emission tomography / computed tomography (F-18 FDG PET/CT) and dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) are better predictors of response to therapy than the current standard of care (CT or MRI).

Eligibility


Inclusion Criteria:- Measurable disease by RECIST criteria

   - Pathologic diagnosis of renal cell cancer

   - Advanced (stage IV) renal cell cancer

   - Karnofsky performance status of (KPS>70)

   - Consent to participate in the clinical trial Exclusion Criteria:- Patients who cannot
   complete a PET/CT scan.

   - Pregnant women.
