Bladder Bank: Collecting samples for research
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study collects urine and tissue samples from people being checked for blood in their urine (hematuria) to build a 'bladder bank' for future research. By donating samples, you help scientists learn more about bladder conditions and improve diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study collects tissue and blood samples from people diagnosed with early-stage bladder cancer (tumors that have not invaded the bladder muscle). The goal is to use these samples for research that could improve future diagnosis and treatment. It may be an opportunity to contribute to medical research.
This study collects clinical and tissue samples from people who are having surgery for bladder cancer and related urinary-tract tumors. It aims to improve understanding of cancer and may help future care by building a large research dataset.
This study looks at urothelial cancer (often bladder cancer) samples taken during diagnosis or standard treatment. It may help researchers better understand the disease by using tissue that doctors already need to collect for care.
This study collects samples like blood, urine, or tissue, along with medical information, from people with bladder or urinary tract cancer. The samples are used for research to better understand the disease and may lead to new treatments.
This study is collecting blood, urine, and tissue samples from people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer to help develop better tests for tracking the disease. By participating, you might help improve future monitoring and treatment decisions.
This study collects and studies blood and, when possible, small tissue samples from people with prostate or bladder/urothelial cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to better understand these cancers and support future research that may lead to better care.
