Maximizing survival in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer undergoing curative bladder-preserving radiotherapy: the impact of radiotherapy dose escalation

ConclusionsWhen treating patients with MIBC with curative bladder-preserving radiotherapy, RT doses of 62 –66 Gy have improved OS compared to lower doses, while dose escalation to 67–70 Gy does not improve survival. Our study does not support deviating from the standard of 64–66 Gy.
