This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases โ it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After treatment for early-stage bladder cancer, patients typically need frequent cystoscopy procedures (camera exams of the bladder) to watch for cancer returning. This study tests whether a urine DNA test โ which looks for cancer cells in urine โ can accurately predict which patients are safe and can have fewer of these routine check-ups. If successful, this could mean less frequent, less invasive monitoring for some patients.
Frequent cystoscopy procedures can be uncomfortable and time-consuming for patients. This trial exists to see if the urine DNA test is reliable enough to safely reduce the number of these procedures some patients need, while still catching any cancer that returns early.

You will be assigned to either the standard surveillance group (regular cystoscopy check-ups as usual) or the de-intensified group (fewer cystoscopy visits, guided by urine DNA test results). Both groups will provide urine samples regularly so researchers can track whether the urine DNA test accurately predicts who stays cancer-free. Your doctor will monitor you closely either way to ensure your safety.
