Study Summary

Metastatic kidney cancer is usually treated with targeted therapy or immunotherapy which is costly and has low response rate. The current standard care is to perform anatomical imaging studies after a few cycles (months) of treatment to evaluate response. This approach exposes many patients to highly toxic, high expensive treatment without any benefit for months and delays initiation of other effective therapies. The goal of this study is to evaluate a parametric PET method that potentially identify response and assess drug efficacy with a few days to weeks of treatment.

Primary Outcome

Tumor blood flow in the unit of mL/min/g will be derived from early-dynamic FDG-PET with tracer kinetic modeling. The change between baseline and follow-up scans will be calculated.
