Feasibility study of using the PREDICT kidney tool for patients with localised renal cell carcinoma
We aim to recruit 60 patients from three hospitals in England and Scotland. Patients treated with surgery for primary localised clear-cell RCC awaiting their first follow-up appointment will be invited to take part. Participants will be allocated into two groups: standard care and standard care supplemented with the use of the PREDICT Kidney tool. Data will be collected through questionnaires, audio/video recordings of consultations and interviews with a subset of patients and clinicians. The study period is planned from September 2024 to July 2025. The findings will guide the design of a future randomised controlled trial to evaluate the tool's efficacy in clinical settings.
