title: [The radiation therapy of bladder cancer in a regimen of nontraditional fractionation with local radiomodification by metronidazole].
abstract: The authors presented short-term and immediate results of radiation therapy of bladder cancer by a conventional method and optimized program, combining accelerated hyperfractionation and local radiomodification with metronidazole. A variant, proposed by the authors, included the use of a single focal dose of 1.4 Gy twice a day with a 4-hour interruption up to a total dose of 39.2 Gy. It was followed by a dose of 6 Gy once a week with preliminary administration of 2 g of metronidazole in 30-40 ml of 50 per cent dimexide solution in the bladder. A total of 2 large fractions of irradiation combined with metronidazole were used. This method was used for the treatment of 89 cancer patients. Better local control and survival in anemic patients with poorly differentiated cancer were observed.
