T1 The Current Role of Radiotherapy in the Treatment of Invasive Bladder Cancer JF Critical Reviews™ in Oncogenesis JO CRO YR 1996 FD 1996-12-01 VO 7 IS 5-6 SP 457 OP 464 K1 bladder neoplasm K1 radiation K1 invasive AB Invasive bladder cancer remains a therapeutic challenge. Approximately 50% of patients treated with radical cystectomy die of metastatic disease. External beam radiation therapy when given alone has results inferior to that of surgery, and although it has shown some benefit when given in the preoperative setting, this was not verified by randomized trials. Altered fractionation radiation schemes and combined modality using a cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy with radiation have resulted in up to 60% bladder preservation.
