Abstract
Experience with precystectomy radiation for carcionma of the bladder from July, 1959 through June, 1976 is presented. Precystectomy radiation would appear to be beneficial in the management of patients with invasive bladder cancer. There is an impressive improvement in survival rates in those patients demonstrating reduction in staging after radiation. Experience correlates well with other comparative series. Based on this 17 yr experience guidelines are outlined for the subsequent management of patients with bladder cancer.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
