Laser Methods for Removing Bladder Tumors
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of laser surgery (TFL vs. MOSES Holmium laser) for removing bladder tumors in one piece. It aims to find which approach works better for patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two laser treatments for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) in men whose symptoms did not improve with medicine. It may help find which laser approach works better for improving urine flow and symptom relief.
This trial compares two types of lasers used during a procedure to remove kidney stones through the urinary tract. It may help you understand which laser works better for clearing stones while keeping the procedure safe.
This trial studies using a specific laser technique to remove bladder tumors “en bloc” (in one piece) during a procedure. It may help reduce leftover tumor tissue and improve how safely the tumor can be removed for people with certain small, papillary bladder tumors.
This trial compares two laser methods to break up bladder stones in children. Both approaches use a thin camera inserted through the urethra (the tube that carries urine), and the study aims to find which method works better and causes fewer complications.
This study compares two types of laser treatments used during a minimally invasive procedure to break up kidney stones. You would be randomly assigned to receive one of the two lasers to help doctors understand which works better for stone removal.
This trial compares two different lasers used to break up kidney stones during a procedure called flexible ureteroscopy. It may help determine which laser works better and is safer.
