Zusammenfassung:Although emerging evidence demonstrates increased risk of secondary bladder cancer following pelvic radiotherapy, the aggressiveness of these tumors is not well-characterized. A search of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 18 Database, identified 25,734 patients diagnosed with bladder cancer following definitive therapy for previous pelvic malignancy.
