title: [Radiation cystitis : Pathophysiology and treatment].
abstract: Radiation cystitis (RC) is a common side-effect of radiation to the pelvis. Their clinical appearance as well as their degree of expression is manifold, as are the therapeutic options. However, in the absence of randomized examinations, recommendations are difficult. We differentiate between oral, systemic therapies, intravesical instillations and interventions as well as interventional, radiological and, as an ultima ratio, surgical treatments. This article provides an overview of the different treatment options with particular emphasis on the conservative-interventional therapy options.
