Could a simple bladder infection spare women from unnecessary cancer scans?
NCT ID NCT07037589
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at women aged 50 and older who have visible blood in their urine along with a bladder infection. Researchers want to find out if these women really need to undergo invasive tests like cystoscopy and CT scans to check for bladder or kidney cancer. By following 300 women for one year, the goal is to identify who can safely avoid these procedures without missing a cancer diagnosis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could show that many women with acute hemorrhagic cystitis can safely skip invasive cancer tests like cystoscopy and CT scans.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not provide definitive proof, and results might not apply to all women or settings.
