Abstract:A growing body of evidence supports the treatment of invasive transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder with transurethral resection, chemotherapy, and external beam radiotherapy. Randomized trials have demonstrated the superiority of chemotherapy plus radiotherapy to radiotherapy alone. Several series with 10 years of follow-up demonstrate that the success of this approach can be maintained. Preservation of the urothelium, however, results in continued risk of de novo bladder cancer development in addition t… Show more
