Ultrasound test to check bladder cancer muscle spread
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a special ultrasound scan with contrast dye to see whether bladder cancer has grown into the muscle layer. It may help doctors plan the best treatment before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have bladder cancer confirmed by biopsy or urine test results.
- You have not had surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or other cancer treatment before the ultrasound scan.
- Your diagnosis must be primary bladder cancer (not a return of cancer or spread to other organs).
- No confirmed bladder lining cancer cell type other than bladder cancer (no non-cancer diagnosis).
- You are able to safely have contrast-enhanced ultrasound (no allergy or major heart/lung problems that make it unsafe).

This trial uses a special ultrasound with contrast dye to get a clearer picture of bladder cancer before any treatment. It aims to improve how doctors determine the stage of the cancer, which helps guide the best treatment plan.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to look at ultrasound and other scans to better stage bladder cancer and predict if chemotherapy before surgery might work. It may help doctors plan your treatment more precisely.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to take detailed pictures of the tiny blood vessels around bladder cancer. The goal is to help doctors better understand the cancer before surgery to remove the bladder.
This trial tests a new blood test that looks for signs bladder cancer may be coming back in people with a recent history of bladder cancer. It may help by making surveillance easier, but you must still follow a scheduled bladder-check plan.
This study looks at tumor and blood samples from people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer to find markers that help predict how the disease will progress. It aims to improve personalized treatment for those with this specific stage of bladder cancer.
This trial compares two imaging methods—CT and MRI scans—to see which one better shows how far bladder cancer has spread before surgery. If you have newly diagnosed bladder cancer and are planning surgery, this study may help doctors choose the best imaging for your care.
