We’re committed to our mission of finding new treatments that may help improve the lives of people with cancerCancerAbnormal cells that grow out of control [may invade other tissues and may spread into other parts of the body]; Also called malignancy.. Our clinical trials for bladder cancer study investigational medications alone, or in combination with other study medications, or standard of careStandard of care (Standard Treatment)Accepted or approved treatment for a condition (disease or illness); treatment usually given to people for a condition (disease or illness) at the time; the treatment for a condition that is accepted and widely used by health care professionals at the time therapy. We perform these trials to see if they can help prevent, find, or treat cancer.

The most common type of bladder cancer is urothelial carcinoma. This type of cancer begins when cellsCellThe smallest unit of life; what all tissues are made up of inside the urinary bladder start to grow rapidly. As more cancer cells build up, they form a tumor, which can grow through the layers of the bladder and spread to other areas of the body. When the cancer has not grown into the muscle layer of the bladder it is called non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
