MRI scanning to stage bladder tumors before surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to look at bladder tumors in detail before surgery. The goal is to see if MRI can accurately show how deep the tumor has grown, which may help doctors plan the best treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old
- You must have a bladder tumor confirmed by a cystoscopy (a scope exam) and be scheduled for a TURB (a surgery to remove the tumor)
- You must be able to read and understand French and give your consent
- You must not have any metal implants or devices that are not compatible with MRI (like certain pacemakers, clips, stents, or cochlear implants)
- You must not be pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to gadolinium (an MRI contrast dye)
- You must not have certain other conditions, such as an active infection or blood in your urine on the day of the MRI

This early-stage study uses special MRI imaging to create a “virtual view” of the bladder wall so doctors can better stage bladder cancer before treatment. If you qualify, you may get MRI imaging using contrast medicines as part of planning your surgery.
This study uses a special MRI scan (mpMRI) to figure out how far suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer has spread, using a new local staging approach. If the results are accurate, it may help doctors plan the most appropriate curative treatment sooner.
This trial uses advanced MRI scanning to guide treatment decisions for muscle invasive bladder cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by personalizing therapy based on detailed imaging.
This study looks at how well MRI scans can detect bladder cancer after chemotherapy, before surgery to remove the bladder. It may help doctors know if the chemo is working.
This study uses MRI scans to better see and diagnose tumors in the upper urinary tract (the tubes connecting your kidneys to your bladder). If you have a suspicious area seen on a CT scan, an MRI might help doctors tell if it is a true tumor and how deep it goes, which could guide your treatment.
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.
