Brief Summary

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

This study is being done to collect blood, tissue and urine samples to identify a novel high quality methylated DNA marker in patients with renal tumors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. In tissue, to discover and validate DNA methylation markers (MDMs) for detection of malignant renal and urothelial tumors.

II. In blood, to assess the accuracy of candidate MDMs from above for detection of malignant renal and urothelial tumors.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study.

Participants may undergo blood, urine, and tissue sample collection on study. Participants' medical records are also reviewed.
