Computed Tomography Urography (CTU) vs Intravenous Urography (IVU) on Patients at Risk of Urothelial Tumors
Conditions: Bladder Cancer
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 133
Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Location: University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston Texas
Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to use computed tomography urography (CTU) scans and intravenous urography (IVU) scans to check the status of urothelial cancer, in order to try to learn the level of effectiveness of possibly using CTU by itself in future patients.

3. Such patients will typically
1. Have histologically proven TCC, or
2. Have bladder tumors of Stage ≥ T3, or
3. Had cystectomies for bladder cancer, or
4. Upper tract TCC.
4. \>18 years age.
5. Written informed consent will be obtained from patients.
