MRI to diagnose invasive upper urinary tract tumours
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether an MRI can better identify invasive tumours in the upper urinary tract (kidneys/ureters) compared to standard tests. It may help avoid unnecessary surgery if the tumour is not invasive.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a suspicious spot in your upper urinary tract seen on a special CT scan called a uro-CT.
- You cannot have severe kidney failure (GFR under 30).
- You cannot have metal implants, a pacemaker, or severe claustrophobia that stops you from having an MRI.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot be allergic to the MRI contrast dye (gadoteric acid).

This early-stage study uses special MRI imaging to create a “virtual view” of the bladder wall so doctors can better stage bladder cancer before treatment. If you qualify, you may get MRI imaging using contrast medicines as part of planning your surgery.
This trial uses special MRI scans to help doctors choose precise treatment for bladder cancer before and/or around surgery. It may help tailor therapy more accurately while you receive standard bladder cancer care.
This trial uses advanced MRI scanning to guide treatment decisions for muscle invasive bladder cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by personalizing therapy based on detailed imaging.
This study uses a special MRI scan (mpMRI) to figure out how far suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer has spread, using a new local staging approach. If the results are accurate, it may help doctors plan the most appropriate curative treatment sooner.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound probe inserted into the urinary tract can better show how deep the cancer has grown, helping doctors decide on the right surgery. It may improve accuracy in treatment planning.
This study uses MRI scans to help doctors better identify the type and severity of kidney tumors. It may lead to more accurate diagnoses without needing extra tests.
