The Impact of Academic Facility Type and Case Volume on Survival in Patients Undergoing Curative Radiation Therapy for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

Although some providers are cautious about offering curative RT at all centers, this large hospital-based study suggests that facility type and volume are not significantly associated with OS for patients undergoing curative RT after we account for other clinically relevant risk factors. The results of this study demonstrate that curative RT in the treatment of MIBC may be considered for patients regardless of facility type or volume.
