Follow up After Cryoablation of Small Renal Masses.

Completed
Conditions
Carcinoma, Renal Cell
Interventions
Other: 111In-Girentuximab DOTA SPECT
Registration Number
NCT02411968
Lead Sponsor
Radboud University Medical Center
Brief Summary

Currently there is no consensus on post procedural follow up imaging following percutaneous cryoablation of renal tumors. Interpretation of conventional contrast enhanced imaging (CT and MRI) during follow up can be very challenging. The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of early evaluation of the therapeutic effect by performing early follow up imaging after percutaneous MR-guided cryoablation of pT1a renal cell carcinoma using 111In-Girentuximab-DOTA SPECT CT imaging.

Detailed Description

With the growing number of small renal masses (SRMs) detected, a growing interest in minimal invasive treatment options for these lesions is seen as they come with several advantages compared to partial nephrectomy. Current guidelines state that patients with a small renal mass unfit to undergo surgery, should be considered for minimal invasive ablative treatment. Although percutaneous cryoablation is shown to be a safe and effective therapy for SRM, there is no consensus on post procedural follow up imaging which should be aimed at evaluation of therapeutic effect of the intervention and the early detection of residual and recurrent disease. Also interpretation of conventional contrast enhanced imaging (CT and MRI) during follow up can be very challenging due to contrast enhancement not necessarily indicating residual or recurrent disease.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of early evaluation of the therapeutic effect by performing early follow up imaging after percutaneous MR-guided cryoablation of pT1a renal cell carcinoma 111In-Girentuximab-DOTA SPECT CT imaging.

Therefore, before cryoablation, a targeting 111In-Girentuximab-DOTA SPECT CT scan is performed. Additional functional 111In-Girentuximab-DOTA SPECT CT scan 4-6 weeks after percutaneous MR-guided cryoablation of small renal masses is performed. The latter will take place in case of proven targeting on the pre procedural 111In-Girentuximab-DOTA SPECT CT scan. Standard 1 and 3 months follow up MRI after treatment is performed.
