Radical cystectomy is the treatment of choice for nonmetastatic, muscle-infiltrating bladder cancer. However, bladder-sparing approaches can be discussed in carefully selected patients. Bladder-preservation protocols aim to guaranty local control and survival with a functional bladder and a good quality of life. Such strategies include combinations of transurethral resection and radiochemotherapy, partial cystectomy and brachytherapy, radiotherapy-cystotomy and electrontherapy. Strict selection criteria and close follow-up are mandatory. New irradiation techniques hold the promise to improve local control by selectively boosting the dose to the tumor while better sparing the organs at risk. Such advances include the use of multimodal imaging, image-guided radiotherapy, concomitant boost with conformal irradiation+/-intensity modulated radiation therapy. Brachytherapy, either high-dose or pulsed-rate, is a promising technique for selected cases. Highly-conformal irradiation with tumor tracking using the Cyberknifetrade mark technology may also provide opportunities to boost the tumor while reducing toxicities. Specific innovative irradiation techniques are discussed.
