title: [Cancer of the bladder. Results of radiotherapy after partial cystectomy].
abstract: The authors evaluate 374 patients treated by adjuvant radiotherapy after conservative surgery or radiotherapy alone for bladder carcinoma, from 1974 to 1982. The five year survival rate was 61, 39, 8 and 43 percent, respectively, for stages A (84 pts), B (154 pts), C (65 pts) and NOS (71 pts). Two homogeneous groups of patients staged B, treated by conservative surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy were evaluated: group I by "high" dose radiotherapy (TDF greater than 95), group II by "low" dose (TDF between 50 and 95); the five years survival rates were, respectively, 59% and 28% (P less than 0.05). It is discussed the value of treatment of the bladder carcinoma by high dose radiotherapy after conservative surgery.
