Outcomes for IR and High Risk (HR) Non-muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC) and ctDNA-based Biomarkers for Response and Recurrence in Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC)
Sponsor: Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network
Summary
This study aims to better understand how treatment choices impact outcomes for patients with intermediate- and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), as well as the factors that influence treatment decisions made by patients and their healthcare providers. The study will also include patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). In addition to receiving standard care and routine follow up, these patients will provide blood samples over time. Researchers will analyze these samples for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), small fragments of DNA released into the bloodstream by cancer cells, to monitor how the cancer responds to treatment. The information gained from this study may help improve treatment planning, disease monitoring, and overall outcomes for patients with bladder cancer.
