Ultrasound contrast for bladder cancer staging
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses a special ultrasound with contrast dye to get a clearer picture of bladder cancer before any treatment. It aims to improve how doctors determine the stage of the cancer, which helps guide the best treatment plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial uses artificial intelligence to look at ultrasound and other scans to better stage bladder cancer and predict if chemotherapy before surgery might work. It may help doctors plan your treatment more precisely.
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.
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.
This study uses ultrasound with AI to better diagnose bladder masses. It's for people who have a suspicious finding on a bladder ultrasound and are already planning to have surgery to treat it.
This study uses a special ultrasound method called contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to see if it can improve accuracy of diagnosing thyroid cancer. If you have a thyroid nodule and have had certain tests, this trial may help doctors better understand your condition.
