Intraoperative Irradiation

Part of the book series: Current Clinical Oncology ((CCO))

Abstract

When conventional external-beam irradiation (EBRT) alone was given in an attempt for preservation of bladder and potential cure in operable or inoperable patients, the local bladder cancer was permanently eradicated in <50% of patients (1-3). Radical cystectomy, when combined with preoperative EBRT, eradicated pelvic tumor permanently in 75–90% of patients with invasive cancer (1,4–6).
