Abstract:
The prognosis of patients with bladder cancer with pelvic lymph node metastasis is poor, and only 30% of them have been reported to achieve 5- and 10-year survival rates. Prognosis of the patients with pelvic lymph node metastasis larger than 5 cm (N3) is especially poor. and no patient has been reported to have survived more than 3 years. The authors report the successful treatment of two patients with pelvic N3 bladder cancer by internal iliac arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with whole-pelvis irradiation.
