High prevalence of secondary bladder cancer in men on radiotherapy for prostate cancer: Evidence from a meta-analysis
Cancer Management and Research Jan 17, 2019
Zhao S, et al. - Researchers performed a meta-analysis to determine if radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PCa) was a risk factor for secondary bladder cancer (BLCa). They summarized the association between RT and risk of BLCa using hazard ratio with a 95%CI. From 15 studies, they included 619,479 participants (age: 57–79 years), 206,852 of whom received RT for PCa and were noted to be at higher risks of developing secondary BLCa compared to those unexposed to RT. However, the absolute effect was noted to be low.
