This pilot clinical trial studies imaging during surgery in diagnosing patients with prostate, bladder, or kidney cancer. New diagnostic imaging procedures, may find prostate, bladder, or kidney cancer

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the ability of fluorescent imaging and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) in a clinical setting to distinguish benign from malignant tissue.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To qualitatively determine the possible benefit of PAI and fluorescent imaging over traditional white light imaging.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo fluorescence imaging and PAI during robot assisted laparoscopic surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients must have a pathologic confirmation of prostate cancer, bladder cancer, or kidney cancer based on previous biopsies or procedures OR a strong concern for a kidney malignancy based on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging
• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with a surgical history or anatomic variant that would preclude robot assisted laparoscopic approaches to their surgery (i.e. history of ventral hernia repair with mesh)
• Patients with medical co-morbidities who cannot tolerate laparoscopic surgery secondary to intra-abdominal carbon dioxide insufflation
• Patients with documented allergy or adverse drug reaction to indocyanine green or baseline serum creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dL
