3 Tesla MRI in Patients With Bladder Cancer
Sponsor: University of Cincinnati
Summary
RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures, such as 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may help find bladder cancer and learn the extent of disease. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well 3 Tesla MRI works in finding cancer in patients with bladder cancer.
Official title: Imaging of Bladder Cancer Using Clinical 3 Tesla MRI and EX-VIVO Ultra-High-Field MRI.

Conditions
Interventions
Specimen Ultra-High field MRI
Immediately following removal of the bladder and lymph nodes, the specimens will be transported to the ultra-high-field MRI scanner for high resolution imaging.
chemotherapy
The majority of patients will be candidates to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to radical cystectomy as part of standard clinical care. Patients will most often receive cisplatin based therapy for a period of three months (four 21 day cycles).
Cystectomy and Lymphadenectomy
The patient will undergo radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection with no deviation from standard surgical care. A urinary tract reconstruction will follow as either a continent or incontinent form of diversion.
