Funded Activity Summary

This trial aims to see if the combination of Chemotherapy and Radiation treatment is indeed superior in eradicating the tumor and preserving the Bladder in a greater number of patients as compared to Radiation treatment alone. If the final results from this study do show chemoradiotherapy to be significantly superior to radiation alone, without an increase in morbidity ( especially long term side effects ) , this may lay the platform for a greater proportion of patients with localised bladder cancer, being in the first instance considered for this organ( bladder) preserving approach something which has become a reality at a number of other sites of cancer with the use of multimodality treatment.
