Abstract
A recent 25 yr experience with patients treated for carcinoma of the uterine cervix who subsequently had bladder tumors is presented. Of the 3091 patients treated 2674 received radiotherapy and 8 had vesical malignancies of varied histopathological type 6 mo. to 20 yr after irradiation. This incidence rate is 299.9/100,000, which is 57.6 times that of the general female population. Benign radiation reactions of the bladder and the possible etiology of radiation induced bladder cancers are discussed.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
