NCT ID NCT02400944
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 600 people with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer to see how changes in smoking habits and body weight after diagnosis affect the chance of cancer coming back. Participants fill out questionnaires and provide saliva or urine samples over time. The goal is to learn which lifestyle factors might help prevent recurrence.
