Complete Local Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Evaluated by 15O-H2O PET/MR

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Treatment of localized muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is radical cystectomy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) improves survival. Approximately 50-60% of all MIBC patients undergoing NAC before cystectomy are histopathological without remnant tumor in the cystectomy specimen (T0). However, there is currently no optimal method to evaluate whether the patient is true T0 or has remnant tumor in need for consolidating radical treatment. The study aim is to investigate if 15O-H2O PET/MR can predict complete local response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with MIBC and thereby identify potential candidates for organ preservation.
