Radiation cystitis is a complication of radiation treatment given for pelvic malignancies. Radiation cystitis can present as mild symptoms of dysuria, frequency, and hematuria to severe life-threatening complications like intractable hematuria, bladder perforation and contracted non-functional urinary bladder, fistula etc. Treatment is tailored according to the severity of symptoms and available treatment modalities sequentially. Initial treatment of hematuria is intravenous fluids, blood transfusions, cystoscopy and fulguration, irrigation with intravesical agents like alum, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, angioembolisation, urinary diversion and surgery (cystectomy). Radiation cystitis is associated with short- and long-term complications in pelvic malignancies patients. Early diagnosis, follow up, treatment is crucial for decreasing morbidity and mortality in these patients. In this review article we describe the current protocol in diagnosing and managing radiation cystitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
