Brief summary
To evaluate the short term results of chemoradiation in case of T1G3 BC after BCG failure.
Detailed description
Non- muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a heterogeneous group of cancers. For most urologists the treatment of T1G3 tumor poses a dilemma of management.The spectrum of clinical behavior includes; T1 lesions that will not progress however T1G3 may be potentially lethal, associated with metastatic disease at the time of presentation. The major goal of treatment for T1G3 BC should be bladder preservation whenever possible. Intravesical therapy with Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) may decrease the recurrence rate by compared with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) alone.
