First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study looked at whether a special type of MRI, called multiparametric MRI, can more accurately determine how far bladder cancer has spread. Knowing the exact stage helps doctors choose the right treatment—surgery alone for early-stage tumors or chemotherapy plus surgery for more advanced ones. The study involved 186 adults with suspected or confirmed bladder cancer and compared MRI results with standard pathology reports.
