Finding hidden tumors during bladder cancer surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests if a special light (NBI) can find bladder tumors that standard white light misses during surgery. It may help ensure more complete tumor removal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old
- You have a bladder tumor

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a special fluorescent dye (given before surgery) can make bladder tumor removal more precise by helping the surgeon see exactly where the tumor is during the operation. It aims to reduce the chance of leaving cancerous tissue behind.
This trial tests a special dye that binds to bladder cancer cells and makes them glow during surgery. It may help doctors find and remove the cancer more completely.
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 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.
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 study examines whether a simple blood test can detect cancer DNA (circulating tumor DNA, or ctDNA) in patients with a specific type of bladder cancer. Detecting this DNA in blood may help doctors predict how the cancer will behave and guide future treatment decisions.
