What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Bladder cancer is a common malignancy in the urinary system, ranking 11th in cancer incidence in China (3.48/100,000), with male incidence ranking 8th (5.70/100,000). It is classified as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) or muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) based on muscle involvement. About 75% of patients are initially diagnosed with NMIBC, with Ta, T1, and Tis stages comprising 70%, 20%, and 10%, respectively. With the advancement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), its role in bladder cancer diagnosis and staging has expanded. Multiparametric MRI (MpMRI) enhances staging accuracy with better anatomical visualization. In 2018, Valeria et al. introduced the VI-RADS scoring system, which uses MpMRI to predict tumor stage. Retrospective studies by Wang et al. found that all tumors with a VI-RADS score of 1 were NMIBC, and 95.1% of tumors with a score of 2 were also NMIBC.

Voluntary participation with written informed consent, and ability to understand and comply with study requirements, including regular follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * Preoperative imaging assessment with VI-RADS ≥3.
