Collecting blood and urine samples from bladder cancer patients

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to establish a biobank of blood and urine samples from patients diagnosed with bladder carcinoma. The primary objective is to support the development of non-invasive tests for the early detection of bladder cancer. Participants will undergo sample collection and have their medical records reviewed while enrolled in the study. This approach allows researchers to gather valuable biological materials that can aid in advancing diagnostic methods for bladder cancer.

* Patient has ever been previously diagnosed with UTUC (upper tract urothelial carcinoma) prior to bladder resection
* Patient has received chemotherapy class drugs for the treatment of non-target origin cancer in the 5 years prior to current collection
* Patient has had any prior radiation therapy to the target lesion prior to current collection
* Patient has had a biopsy to the target organ and/or lesion within 3 days before collection
* Patient has undergone cystectomy or cystoprostatectomy
* Patient has transurethral instrumentation (placement of urinary catheter) within 7 days prior to urine collection
