Bladder cancer treatment with radiation plus heat therapy
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies adding “heat treatment” (hyperthermia) to standard bladder cancer care using radiation, sometimes with chemotherapy. It may help the radiation work better, but your eligibility depends on cancer stage, your general health, and certain heart and metal-safety issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You have confirmed bladder cancer based on a biopsy/pathology report
- Your cancer is stage M0 (no known spread to distant parts of the body)
- Your overall functioning is good enough (ECOG 0–2)
- You can give informed consent to join the study
- You are able to safely receive the planned procedures (like TUR), radiation/chemoradiation, and deep pelvic heat treatment

This trial tests whether adding radiation therapy to immunotherapy after bladder removal surgery can help prevent cancer from coming back. It's for people with advanced bladder cancer who have already started immunotherapy.
This trial tests a new online adaptive radiotherapy technique for bladder cancer that adjusts the radiation plan daily based on changes in the bladder. It aims to improve treatment accuracy and reduce side effects.
This trial tests whether radiation therapy can help people whose bladder cancer (specifically carcinoma in situ) did not get better with BCG treatment and who are not having their bladder removed. It aims to offer a less invasive option for controlling the cancer.
This trial tests a new combination of immunotherapy (tislelizumab) plus chemotherapy (cisplatin and gemcitabine) with or without an extra drug (trilaciclib) for people with advanced bladder cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and helps shrink tumors.
This study tests a combination treatment for people with early-stage bladder cancer who want to avoid bladder removal. It uses a freezing technique (cryoablation) inside the bladder along with immunotherapy drugs to see if this can cure the cancer while keeping the bladder.
This trial studies whether adding controlled heat (“hyperthermia”) to radiation therapy (or radiation with chemotherapy) can improve outcomes in advanced cervical cancer. It focuses on people who can safely receive intensive pelvic radiation and heat treatment.
