Editorial Comment: Endoclips as novel fiducial markers in trimodality bladder preserving therapy of muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma: feasibility and patient outcomes
Abstract:Titanium Endoclips (TE) are safe and not expensive. It has been applied in various tissues of the human body due to its high histocompatibility and no foreign body reaction. TE has also been used as a fiducial marker to assist radiotherapy in several tumors, helping the detection of the target area, reducing the damage to healthy tissues (1).
