Radiation Therapy, Chemotherapy, or Observation in Treating Patients With Bladder Cancer

NCT00002490 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE3 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2013-12-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not known whether receiving either radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or observation is more effective for cancer of the bladder.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or observation following tumor surgery in treating patients who have bladder cancer.
