MRI may replace invasive biopsies for urinary tract cancer diagnosis
NCT ID NCT07252882
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to see if a special MRI scan can accurately diagnose invasive upper urinary tract tumors. About 178 adults with suspicious findings on a CT scan will receive an MRI, and the results will be compared to standard biopsy or follow-up CT. If successful, MRI could offer a non-invasive way to diagnose these cancers.
