Blue light surgery for high-risk bladder cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if using blue light during surgery helps remove all cancer in people with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. It may lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have bladder tumors seen on a scan or during a scope exam
- You are scheduled to have TURBT surgery to remove the tumors
- You will start bladder chemotherapy or immunotherapy within four weeks after surgery

This study tests whether using a special blue light (photodynamic diagnosis) during bladder surgery helps remove all the cancer more completely. It's for people having their first surgery for a medium-sized bladder tumor.
This trial uses a special blue-light camera during a bladder procedure to help doctors better see non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. It may help find cancer spots more clearly so they can be treated sooner.
This study tests a new AI tool that helps doctors see bladder tumors better during a blue light cystoscopy. You may be eligible if you are scheduled for this procedure and your doctor has prescribed a special dye (Hexvix or Cysview) to use during it.
This trial tests a new optical probe that gives doctors a clearer view of bladder tumors during cystoscopy. It may help make diagnosis and treatment more accurate.
This trial tests whether radiation therapy (high-energy beams to kill cancer cells) can be a good treatment for bladder cancer that hasn't gone away after BCG therapy, offering an alternative to surgery to remove the bladder. It aims to see if this approach can control the cancer while possibly preserving your bladder.
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.
