Summary:One hundred eight patients with invasive bladder carcinoma, clinically staged T 3 who underwent preoperative irradiation followed by radical cysteetonty and deal conduit urinary diversion without pelvic lymphadenectomy at this Center between January 1, 1969, and December 30, 197.5, were reviewed. Sixty-two patients are alive and free of disease twelve to ninety-six months after treatncent. The incidence of recurrent pelvic disease is 8 per cent. With protracted radiotherapy (5,000 rads TD/five weeks), pelvic lyinphadeneetoiny is not necessary and has the benefit of distinguishing high-risk population who may benefit from adjuvant therapy.
