Hemostatic radiotherapy in advanced bladder cancer: a single-institution experience

ConclusionPalliative bladder RT conferred an initial complete hemostatic response in a majority of patients. While in absolute terms the duration of hemostasis was relatively modest, on average bleeding was controlled following RT for the majority of the remaining life expectancy in this population with advanced bladder malignancy and a poor prognosis. Prospective trials assessing the value of hemostatic RT are encouraged.
