Brief Summary

To evaluate the short term results of chemoradiation in case of T1G3 BC after BCG failure.

Detailed Description

Non- muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a heterogeneous group of cancers. For most urologists the treatment of T1G3 tumor poses a dilemma of management.The spectrum of clinical behavior includes; T1 lesions that will not progress however T1G3 may be potentially lethal, associated with metastatic disease at the time of presentation.
