SYMPOSIUM Radiotherapy in bladder cancer: Standard of care and future perspectives 08:45 - 10:00 | Auditorium This session will cover the role of Radiotherapy in the management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The data available comparing cystectomy vs radio-chemotherapy in MIBC, particularly focusing on the importance of the correct evaluation of the results, based on retrospective analysis, where similar oncological outcome has been reported between the two modalities (also in elderly population). External beam radiotherapy has evolved enormously in the past 10 years through technological innovation resulting in improved quality of bladder external beam radiotherapy. Besides technological innovation radiosensitization strategies have also let to improvement in outcome. A review and considera-tion of these developments will be presented. An underused, but efficacious technique is brachytherapy for limited stage MIBC. Data will be presented on the historical open retro-pubic approach as well as the laparoscopic, robot as-sisted implantation technique, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. 08:45 > Do we have the evidence for radiation therapy as standard of care in bladder cancer?
