Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiation Oncology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Bladder cancer requires multidisciplinary treatment approaches.
  • Optimal use of radiotherapy in bladder cancer management needs consensus.
  • International expertise is crucial for evidence-based guidelines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish international consensus on the optimal use of radiotherapy for bladder cancer.
  • To develop evidence-based guidelines for radical bladder cancer treatment.
  • To address key aspects of radiotherapy in bladder cancer care.

Main Methods:

  • A panel of international experts convened for a consensus meeting.
  • A critical review of English-language literature was performed.
  • Evidence-based guidelines were developed and ranked by strength of evidence.
