✦ Synopsis

In 1969 a clinical trial was started where patients with bladder carcinoma stage T2 and grade 3 were subjected to preoperative radiotherapy followed by cystectomy. The survival rate in this series was higher than in a previous series of comparable patients who were given full irradiation without cystectomy.
