Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to increase the radiation dose (Boost) to the bladder tumor. The bladder cancer patients included in the study will undergo tumor demarcation. The bladder demarcations will then be the target for an image-guided boost delivered precisely to the expected tumor site.
Interventions
Radiation boost of the bladder-tumor: 10 Gy/5 fractions, 2 Gy per fraction.
