The Management of Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Review of Selected Australasian Studies in Radiotherapy, Chemotherapy and Cystectomy

Abstract: Since 1968, studies have been conducted in Australia and New Zealand to improve the results of treatment for invasive bladder cancer. The prognostic value of clinical stage and of ureteric obstruction has been confirmed. Radiotherapy has been established as appropriate treatment for the majority of patients with bladder cancer, most of whom are elderly and suffer from other health problems. There has been no additional benefit from radiosensitizers in increasing the effectiveness of radiotherapy such as hyperb… Show more
