Urology Mar 16, 2018
Fontenot PA, et al. - The complication rates, perioperative outcomes, and survival following radical cystectomy (RC) were compared in patients with prior abdominal and/or pelvic radiation therapy (RT) vs those without an RT history.

Prior RT receipt did not demonstrate any differences in the survival. Hence the use of RC, when indicated, in subjects with a prior history of abdominal/pelvic RT was supported herein.
