Executive Summary
The UK is to host what is being billed as one of the most significant bladder cancer trials of recent years. The project, announced by the charity Cancer Research UK, will aim to assess the value of combining radiotherapy with chemotherapy, as well as comparing two methods of delivering radiotherapy. For the first time, the trial will compare different radiotherapy planning techniques in bladder cancer, dealing with issues such as tumour localisation and reduced-volume radiotherapy.
