NCT ID: NCT02204800 Completed - Clinical trials for Small Renal Mass, Kidney Cancer

Active Surveillance of the Small Renal Mass

Start date: December 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Active surveillance in kidney cancer involves closely observing the tumor with periodic imaging studies rather than immediately proceeding to an invasive treatment. This does not mean that the tumor is ignored or that future treatment is not necessary, rather it means the tumor does not require treatment at this time. On active surveillance, a tumor is closely monitored without treatment, however if the tumor changes and reaches a predefined threshold that your physician no longer considers safe, your physician will strongly encourage treatment.
