文摘

Guidelines support either cystectomy or radiotherapy for invasive bladder cancer. This population-based study describes referral patterns to radiation oncology. One third of patients with bladder cancer were referred to radiation oncology. Only 10% of patients were seen by radiation oncology postoperatively. Closer collaboration between radiation oncology and urology is warranted.
