Abstract
Anaemia is highly prevalent in patients with bladder cancer. This retrospective study showed anaemic patients to have a worse outcome with radiotherapy treatment than patients with a normal haemoglobin level. This was not accounted for by a difference in local control, which may be expected from hypoxic radiobiological principles. Anaemia may be indicative of more aggressive malignancy or subclinical metastases.
