Abstract

In this report, we looked at the incidence of toxicity and local control after adjuvant external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) following radical cystectomy (RC) in high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients. We found that adjuvant EBRT was feasible and resulted in good local control. We conclude that these data support further enrollment of patients in ongoing trials to evaluate the place of adjuvant EBRT after RC.
