New imaging test to spot bladder cancer during surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have or are suspected to have bladder cancer and are scheduled for surgery to remove your bladder (called a radical cystectomy).
- You can give written permission to take part in the study and follow the study rules.
- You do not have other invasive cancers.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not taken part in another clinical trial in the last 30 days.

This trial tests a special imaging dye that lights up bladder cancer during surgery, helping doctors see and remove it more precisely. It may help ensure all cancer is removed while sparing healthy tissue.
This study tests whether a simple urine test can accurately identify cancer in the bladder, ureters (tubes between kidneys and bladder), or renal pelvis (part of the kidney). You would provide urine samples before your planned surgery, and researchers will compare the urine test results to your actual tissue diagnosis after surgery.
This study collects urine samples to test UroAmp, a new genetic test that may help detect and monitor bladder cancer. It is for people with bladder cancer or blood in urine who want to help improve cancer detection.
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 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 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.
