Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients, lymph node metastases detection and treatment are the most critical issues in daily clinical decision-making. Indeed, conversely to other oncological settings, a) nodal status imaging, b) sentinel node technique and c) standard lymphadenectomy have been demonstrated inadequate in the staging and management of RCC patients. A novel, accurate, standardized imaging technique is urgently needed in RCC setting to detect macro and micro nodal invasion, to identify those patients who are at higher risk of having nodal metastases, to accurately plan the best management. Recent studies suggested combining 18F-FAZA PET with CT scanning in the detection of cancer-induced hypoxia.The investigators propose to test 18F-FAZA PET-CT in detecting nodal metastases to improve the management of RCC patients.

LYMPH NODE METASTASES IN RENAL CELL CARCINOMA PATIENTS

Twenty patients candidates to radical nephrectomy and extended lymphadenectomy for clinical T4 cancers (clinical Nany) or renal masses with evidence of lymphadenopathies at preoperative CT scan (clinical Tany N1) or larger tumor (clinical Tany Nany and max diameter\>10 cm). RCC candidates to surgery will receive a single intravenous infusion of 18F-FAZA. Surgery will be scheduled within 1 week after infusion. PET and CT scanning of the abdomen will be planned before surgery.

18F-FAZA PET IMAGING TECHNIQUE IN DETECTING LYMPH NODE METASTASES IN RENAL CELL CARCINOMA PATIENTS

Intervention Type OTHER

18F-FAZA is a highly selective PET radiotracer of hypoxia, which has been recently developed and tested in several studies (10-14). 18F-FAZA has been demonstrated to be a marker of hypoxia and pathological metabolic patterns which are common to all renal cancers.
