Analysis of Clinicopathological Factors Associated with Radiation-Induced Cystitis in Patients with Cervical Cancer.

 = 0.029), whereas the difference in volume of bladder and bladder wall irradiated to 35.0 Gy or 40.0 Gy was not statistically significant between patients with or without RIC. Conclusion. The combination of surgery and post-op CRT may increase the incidence and severity of radiation-induced cystitis when compared to CRT alone, suggesting that bladder dysfunction associated with surgical procedure might increase the frequency and severity radiation related bladder toxicity. Further study is merited.
