Abstract:

Bladder-preserving therapy has become an important option for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) due to the increasing value on the quality of life.As a classical bladder-preserving treatment option, trimodality treatment (TMT) not only maintains a significantly better quality of life but also has comparable efficacy to surgery.TMT has been widely used in various applications.Through analyzing the application and toxicity of radiotherapy in different TMT treatments, this article found that reducing the dose of whole pelvic radiotherapy, increasing the dose for radiotherapy with localized tumors, decreasing the scope of radiotherapy and splitting the process of radiotherapy can reduce the radiotherapy toxicity and immunotherapy further increase the complete response (CR) rate and then improve survival.However, the optimal modes of radiotherapy and combinations of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy are still unclear and need further discussion.

Key words: Bladder cancer, Precision therapy, Radiotherapy, Tri-modality therapy, Bladder-sparing, Toxicity effect, Toxicity reduction strategy
