Bladder cancer trial aims to save more of the bladder
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study is for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer that has not spread. It tests whether removing only the part of the bladder with cancer (partial cystectomy) plus nearby lymph nodes works as well as removing the whole bladder. Participants get standard chemotherapy be…
