New radiation technique aims to slash gut damage in bladder cancer patients
NCT ID NCT05295992
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of daily radiation therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer that adapts to changes in the body each day. The goal is to see if this approach lowers the chance of diarrhea and other bowel problems compared to standard radiation. About 110 adults with bladder cancer that hasn't spread widely are taking part. The treatment is designed to be more precise, potentially causing fewer side effects.
