Comparative efficacy of conformal and conventional radiotherapy in organ conserving treatment of patients with invasive bladder cancer

Abstract

Up to now radical cystectomy remains standard treatment modality for invasive transitional cell bladder cancer. Even reconstruction of bladder using other organs can not substitute patient's own organ. Data from numerous prospective single and multi-center trials which enrolled several thousands patients convincingly showed that survival after three-component combined modality treatment consisting of transurethral bladder resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy is comparable to survival after cystectomy.
