Summary

This study tested whether a special type of PET/MR scan can accurately detect if chemotherapy has completely eliminated muscle-invasive bladder cancer. 13 patients were scanned after chemotherapy, and the results were compared to tissue removed during surgery. The goal was to see if the scan could identify patients who might safely avoid bladder removal.
