Optical Coherence Tomography in Staging Patients With Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This clinical trial studies how well optical coherence tomography works in staging patients with upper-tract urothelial carcinomas. Staging describes the severity of a person's cancer based on the size and/or extent (reach) of the original (primary) tumor and whether or not cancer has spread in the body. It also helps the doctor plan the appropriate treatment. Optical coherence tomography is a procedure that uses infrared light waves to give three-dimensional pictures of structures inside tissues and organs. The pictures are made by a computer linked to the light source. Optical coherence tomography may be effective in staging patients with upper-tract urothelial carcinomas.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To test the feasibility and imaging ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to stage upper-tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC).
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo optical coherence tomography over 10-15 minutes.
After completion of study, patients are followed up at 3 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Feasibility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) images in staging upper-tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUC) [Up to 3 months]
Feasibility defined as the ability to relate the features associated with cancerous tissues in pathohistological analysis to the features in OCT images
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Imaging Analysis [Up to 3 months]
Number of cancerous images with at least one feature different from normal pathology slide
