The symptoms and function scores showed the deterioration of all reported functions (e.g., swallowing, speech, mouth opening) during the period of treatment (Figure 2). Most of the functions recovered within six months and showed further improvement compared to pre-treatment. Only two symptoms, dry mouth and sticky saliva persisted for more than one year compared to baseline.
Conclusion This study revealed that within six months after the proton therapy, most of the negative influence subsided and showed an improvement in functions compared to pre-treatment. Although some symptoms lasted longer than one year, this was not seen in the reported global health status and utility values. A larger patient group and comparison to patients receiving photon treatment will be performed.

We report the outcomes of a partial boost RT technique in MIBC. Materials and Methods This was a single institution retrospective study of 117 cT2-4N0M0 MIBC patients treated with external beam RT (EBRT) to the bladder, and sequential or concomitant boost to the tumor bed after maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor
