Weekly bladder radiation shows promise for patients unable to have standard treatment
NCT ID NCT01810757
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a weekly, higher-dose radiation schedule (hypofractionated radiotherapy) for people with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot have standard daily radiation or surgery. It included 65 participants and compared standard radiation planning with a newer 'adaptive' technique that adjusts the radiation field each session based on the bladder's changing shape. The goal was to see if this approach is safe and effective at controlling the tumor while reducing side effects.
