This systematic review demonstrates that a higher dose of bladder RT was not associated with improved response rates of hematuria and frequency symptoms but was associated with reduced response of dysuria. Higher doses of bladder RT was associated with more durable hematuria response. Prospective studies to determine the effects of palliative bladder radiotherapy on HRQOL outcomes are warranted.
