ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a special imaging technique called Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) to see if it can help find bladder tumors that might be missed during standard examinations. When doctors look inside the bladder with a camera (a procedure called cystoscopy), sometimes the bladder lining looks normal, but there could still be hidden cancer. This study aims to determine if NBI can detect these hidden tumors better than regular light.

The trial is open to adults between the ages of 18 and 75 who have been diagnosed with a bladder tumor. Participants will undergo a procedure where their bladder is examined using both standard and NBI techniques. This research could lead to better detection of bladder cancer, which is important for timely and effective treatment. If you're interested in taking part, it's a chance to contribute to important medical research that may improve care for future patients.
