Carcinoma of the urinary bladder category T3NxMo treated by the combination of radium implant and external irradiation: Second report
1983
Abstract Forty-one patients with bladder cancer, T 3 N x M o , with a diameter not exceeding 5 cm, were treated by 3 times 350 rad external irradiation, radium implant at reduced dose, and an additional 3000 rad external irradiation ("Radium 55%"). Survival is excellent where there is a high or medium degree of differentiation without vascular invasion in the biopsy specimen; prognosis is poor if a low degree of differentiation is combined with vascular invasion. The future therapeutic approach will be adapted to this finding.
