Bladder cancer is the 11th most common cancer in the UK and with an ageing population the incidence is increasing. There is a relative lack of prospective quality of life (QoL) data evaluating the impact of the illness and treatment on QoL and patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Here we evaluate the available tools to assess QoL and PROs, and summarise the published data evaluating outcomes in patients treated with radiotherapy for muscle-invasive disease. We also discuss some of the recently completed studies and those ongoing that will help to shape future care and assist in decision making for patients and their clinicians.

膀胱癌放疗后患者报告的结果和与健康相关的生活质量

膀胱癌是英国第11大最常见的癌症，而且随着人口老龄化，发病率正在增加。相对缺乏预期的生活质量（QoL）数据来评估疾病和治疗对QoL和患者报告的结局（PROs）的影响。在这里，我们评估了评估QoL和PRO的可用工具，并总结了已发表的评估放射治疗肌肉侵袭性疾病患者结局的数据。我们还将讨论一些最近完成的研究以及正在进行中的研究，这些研究将有助于塑造未来的护理并帮助患者及其临床医生做出决策。
