Curative radiation therapy for very elderly bladder cancer patients with localized disease
Clinical and Translational Oncology Nov 23, 2017
Bonet M, et al. - In this article, researchers aim to present the outcomes of a cohort of very elderly muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients treated with contemporary 3D-conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) with or without concurrent chemotherapy, after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Findings revealed that in elderly patients, radiotherapy with contemporary 3D-CRT techniques after TURBT for MIBC is feasible and well-tolerated. Outcomes and quality of life may improve with achieving a maximal response and shortening the total radiation treatment time.
