Development of a Novel Clinical Classification for Radiation-induced Cystitis: The Portuguese Navy Radiation-induced Cystitis (PNRC) Scale
Radiation-induced cystitis is a debilitating complication of pelvic radiotherapy. A uniform classification system is needed to assess the incidence of this disease and to compare the results for different treatment options. We developed the Portuguese Navy Radiation-induced Cystitis (PNRC) scale, which was validated by an independent group of experts from 30 different countries.
