Photodynamic guided treatment for bladder cancer

PHOTO is a multi-centre randomised trial comparing the intervention of PDD guided bladder tumour resection with standard white light resection in patients with newly diagnosed non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Apart from initial treatment, both groups will receive standard care, including single dose intravesical mitomycin C, surveillance according to risk-adjusted schedules and adjuvant therapy as indicated by current practice guidelines.

Adults will be recruited from 30 NHS secondary care rapid access haematuria clinics following initial cystoscopy. The target number of patients to be recruited is 533 with a follow up period of at least 36 months for each individual. 

This study is funded by the NHS National Institute for Health Research Technology Assessment Programme (Project: 11/142/02)
