Brief Summary  

This trial aims to evaluate the role of adjuvant radiotherapy following chemotherapy in patients with high-risk features on histo-pathology after radical surgery for carcinoma of urinary bladder. All patients will be served the informed consent form before the enrollment in the study and will be enrolled after full counseling and explanation of the treatment and its implications. 

Study Design and Randomization

Design: 2 arm Prospective Randomized Trial

Patients will be randomized to one of these below mentioned arms using stratified block randomization method.

Arm 1 (test arm): Cystectomy + (Neo) adjuvant chemotherapy + Radiotherapy

Arm 2 (standard arm): Cystectomy + (Neo) adjuvant chemotherapy

Stratification

Nodalstatus ( Positive vs Negative)

Chemotherapy (Yes vs No)
