mpMRI Compared to Diagnostic TURBT in Patients With Suspected Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
Urothelial Bladder Cancer
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: mpMRI + Diagnostic TURBT
Registration Number
NCT06335667
Lead Sponsor
University of California, Irvine
Brief Summary

This is a pilot, single arm, prospective study that aims to validate the accuracy of the VI-RADS score obtained via multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) compared to pathologic cancer stage obtained via diagnostic transurethral bladder tumor resection (TURBT) as well as compare the clinical and quality of life outcomes between these diagnostic modalities in patients with suspected muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of concordance between VI-RADS score of 4 or 5 (i.e. muscular propria is likely or very likely) on mpMRI and pathologic muscularis propria invasion (i.e. pT2 tumor stage) on diagnostic TURBT.Up to 1 year

VI-RADS is a five-point scoring system developed to standardize imaging and reporting of bladder tumor invasiveness on mpMRI. It predicts the degree of possible muscular propria invasion ("muscle-invasiveness") of bladder tumors. Once diagnostic TURBT is performed, the VI-RADS score from mpMRI will be compared to the pathologic tumor (T) stage from a diagnostic TURBT to assess for concordance.

Secondary Outcome Measures
