title: [Conservative treatment of bladder epitheliomas by partial cystectomy and iridium-192 curietherapy].
abstract: From 1971 to 1979, 55 patients were treated for bladder cancer at the Henri-Mondor Hospital using a treatment protocol combining low dose pre-operative external beam radiation followed by iliac node dissection, limited partial cystectomy (or sometimes for T1 tumors, a trans-urethral resection) and curietherapy with iridium 192. The 5 year disease free survival was 37/55 (67%). The rate of local recurrences plus second tumors within the bladder was 16% (9/55). These results are compared with other conservative modalities of treatment of bladder cancer.
