Cell free and circulating tumor DNA in the management of muscle invasive bladder cancer, a prospective cohort study.

Status: Recruiting

The goal of this study is to identify the role of cell-free fragments of DNA (cfDNA) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) found in blood and/or urine of patients with bladder cancer in determining whether some patients can avoid chemotherapy and or radical cystectomy. Large numbers of samples need to be analyzed. Participants will be asked to provide additional blood and urine samples; no treatment is provided in this study.
