Abstract

A bladder-sparing approach for the treatment of muscle-invading bladder carcinoma which utilizes combined intra-arterial chemotherapy and radiotherapy may arrest the decline in quality of life induced by urinary diversion and yield equivalent therapeutic benefit to that of radical cystectomy.
