Bladder injury markers from radiation therapy
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks for markers in your blood or urine that might show early signs of bladder damage from radiation therapy. It could help doctors find and treat bladder problems sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have received at least 45 Gy of radiation to your abdomen (belly area).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are generally active and able to care for yourself (score above 60 on a daily function scale).
- Your doctor expects you to live for at least 6 more months.
- You have not had radiation to your abdomen before.
- You do not have an active intestinal infection or inflammatory bowel disease.

This trial tests whether radiation therapy can help people with early-stage bladder cancer that has a high risk of coming back. It may be an option for those who have not tried BCG treatment.
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy that adjusts to your body's changes during treatment. It aims to reduce side effects and improve accuracy for people with bladder cancer.
This trial uses special MRI scans and tiny markers placed in the bladder to better plan bladder chemoradiation. The goal is to help target treatment more accurately and improve how well it can be delivered.
This study collects blood and urine samples from patients receiving radiation therapy to understand how the body responds to treatment. It may help researchers improve radiation therapy in the future.
This study looks at whether a simple check during bladder tumor surgery can help find injuries to the bladder. It may help make surgery safer and improve recovery.
