Abstract
Patients who have received prior pelvic irradiation may be at risk of bladder cancer. Radiotherapy-associated bladder carcinoma was found in 3.7% of 244 cases of advanced urothelial carcinoma (Sella et al., Urology 1989;33(3):185–188, 1989). This chapter covers radiation induced bladder cancer post cervical cancer, clinical presentation of bladder cancer post-pelvic irradiation, survival outcomes in bladder cancer post pelvic irradiation, prior irradiation for prostate cancer and risk of bladder cancer, management of pelvic irradiation induced bladder cancer.
