New MRI method shows promise for spotting aggressive bladder cancer
NCT ID NCT07578233
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested how well a special MRI scan (called multiparametric MRI) can tell if bladder cancer has grown into the muscle layer of the bladder. Researchers used a scoring system called VI-RADS to interpret the scans. The study included 60 people with bladder masses who were scheduled for a cystoscopy. The goal was to see if this MRI method could accurately detect muscle-invasive bladder cancer without needing a biopsy.
