First seen Feb 18, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This 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, along with standard chemotherapy before and after surgery, works as well as removing the whole bladder. The goal is to control the cancer while preserving more bladder function and quality of life. About 40 adults will take part.
