This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This pilot study is testing whether a special type of MRI scan called multi-parametric MRI (or mpMRI) can accurately detect aggressive bladder cancer. Right now, doctors use a surgical procedure called TURBT to diagnose this condition. Researchers want to see if the MRI scan is just as accurate, and whether it affects patients' quality of life differently.
Diagnosing aggressive bladder cancer currently requires surgery, which can be invasive and affect how patients feel. If the MRI scan proves accurate, it could offer patients a less invasive way to confirm their diagnosis in the future.

You would receive both an MRI scan and a diagnostic TURBT surgical procedure (the current standard way to diagnose aggressive bladder cancer). The study will compare how well the MRI results match what the surgery reveals, and will track how you feel and your quality of life throughout the process. This is a small pilot study enrolling about 30 patients at UC Irvine.
