We have tested a procedure of focal injection of the contrast medium Lipiodol as a fiducial marker for image-guided boost of the tumor in bladder cancer radiotherapy (RT). In this study, we have evaluated the feasibility and the safety of the method as well as the inter- and intra-fraction shift of the bladder tumor.

    The inter-patient variation was large for all three ART strategies. The mean ratios of the volumes receiving 57 Gy or more (corresponding to 95% of prescribed dose) for methods A, B and C were 0.66 (SD: 0.11), 0.67 (SD: 0.13) and 0.67 (SD: 0.16) respectively when compared to the non-adaptive plan.

    For a uniform clonogenic cell density in the whole bladder, TCP varied between 53% and 58% for the 60 Gy plans, while it was between 51% and 64% for the SIB plans. The lowest values were found when using the smallest PTVs, as they did not geometrically enclose the clinical target volume in all fract...

    The patient-controlled cognitive-behavioral intervention appears to be feasible for additional study and could reduce day-to-day severity of co-occurring pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance.Implications for Nursing: A randomized, controlled trial is needed to test efficacy of the intervention for c...
