Background:
Bladder cancer is a common cancer in the U.S. Survival rates for metastatic bladder cancer
have not gotten better for 15 years. Diagnosing and assessing the disease is important for
treating it. The best way to tell what stage a cancer is in is computed tomography. This is
also called CT. But it does not always give the best images of the bladder. Adding a test
called positron emission tomography (PET) can help. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is even
better than CT for detecting bladder cancer. But it is not widely used.
Some people with bladder cancer have already had MRI/PET and CT. Researchers want to study
their records. They want to compare the different ways of assessing the disease.
Objective:
To evaluate the use of MRI/PET for diagnosing and treating metastatic bladder cancer.
Eligibility:
People 18 years and older who were in studies between 2013 and 2016
Design:
Researchers will study existing records. There will be no active participants.
The records will have no data that could identify the participants. Data will be stored on
secure computers.
No study participants will be contacted without approval from a review board.

This protocol is a chart review of the diagnostic imaging and management of patients with
metastatic bladder cancer who have undergone PET MRI. The study will involve only review of
patient records and will not use specimens or participant contact. The participants whose
records will be reviewed in this protocol were enrolled on a number of different protocols
between 2013 and 2016.

- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
Patients with metastatic bladder cancer seen between 2013 and 2016 at the NIH Clinical
Center.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
Patients who opted out of storage of specimens/data for future use on prior studies will be
excluded from this study.
