The aim of this study is to determine the utility of renal ultrasonography (US) in the detection of abdominal recurrences after definitive therapy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and compare the detection rate to that of cross-sectional imaging.

RECRUITINGUtility of Renal Ultrasonography (US) in the detection of abdominal recurrences
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) recurrence detection of ultrasonography in patients who have undergo definitive therapy for RCC compared to detection rate of cross-sectional imaging
Time frame: 4 weeks
Radiation Burden
Compare the average radiation exposure over 5 years for patients on current standard of care imaging surveillance for RCC, which consists of both ultrasound and cross-sectional imaging, to that of patients who would only receive cross-section imaging surveillance for RCC. This would yield overall increase in radiation burden for patients with RCC
Time frame: 5 years
