Palliative chemoirradiation for transitional carcinoma of the bladder: a case report.

Palliation of locally advanced transitional carcinoma of the bladder is a major problem that has not been well investigated. Recent reports from the curative literature suggest improved tumor response rates using platinum based chemoirradiation over radiotherapy alone. Because of the poor symptomatic responses seen with conventional palliative radiotherapy, we have been treating selected cases of locally advanced bladder carcinoma palliatively with low dose chemoirradiation. We present a case of an elderly female treated this way with an excellent clinical response.
