Autoantibody Blood Test in Finding Metastasis in Patients With Localized or Metastatic Kidney Cancer
Development of a Blood Test of Anti-IMP3 Autoantibody for the Detection of Renal Cell Carcinoma With Metastasis and Metastatic Potential

RATIONALE: Studying specific autoantibodies in blood samples from patients with cancer may help doctors find metastasis and help plan cancer treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying an autoantibody blood test in finding metastasis in patients with localized or metastatic kidney cancer.

OBJECTIVES:

  • To develop an anti-IMP3 autoantibody blood test to identify the status of current and potential metastasis in patients with localized or metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

OUTLINE: Serum samples obtained prior to surgery are analyzed for anti-IMP3 autoantibody by ELISA. Tissue samples obtained at the time of surgery are examined for IMP3 gene overexpression by IHC. The results of the ELISA serum assay are then compared with the results of the IHC tissue analysis to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the assay.
