MRI for diagnosing upper urinary tract tumors
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to better see and diagnose tumors in the upper urinary tract (the tubes connecting your kidneys to your bladder). If you have a suspicious area seen on a CT scan, an MRI might help doctors tell if it is a true tumor and how deep it goes, which could guide your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- A CT scan has shown a suspicious area in the upper part of your urinary tract, which may be a tumor.
- You are able to have an MRI scan (no metal implants, no severe claustrophobia, and no allergy to the MRI contrast dye).
- Your kidneys work well enough to receive contrast dye for CT scans (not severe kidney failure).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not currently in another clinical study.

This study uses MRI scans to look at bladder tumors in detail before surgery. The goal is to see if MRI can accurately show how deep the tumor has grown, which may help doctors plan the best treatment.
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 study uses MRI scans to look at the prostate and bladder in people with or without lower urinary tract symptoms (like trouble peeing). The goal is to see if MRI can help doctors better understand these symptoms and guide treatment.
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 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.
