Sponsor

Fox Chase Cancer Center

Enrollment

92 participants

Start Date

Aug 13, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This trial aims at investigating the diagnostic ability of a combined diagnostic panel including systematic endoscopic evaluation (SEE), blood-based ctDNA assay, and urine-based cfDNA assay to predict the presence of residual tumor remaining in the bladder at cystectomy. Patients who are planned for cystectomy due to bladder cancer will be considered for enrollment based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests new approaches — better imaging techniques and urine biomarker tests — to more accurately identify patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer before surgery, ensuring they get the right operation (bladder removal vs. less aggressive procedures). **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with bladder cancer and are being considered for surgical treatment - You are scheduled for a TURBT (a procedure to examine and remove bladder tumors) - You are at least 18 years old **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already had a definitive cystectomy (bladder removal) - You have metastatic bladder cancer - You are unable to undergo the required imaging or urine tests Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
