Population-based outcomes of chemoradiation therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer in older adults
Notwithstanding the limitations of SEER-Medicare, in observational analyses designed to evaluate outcomes of a hypothetical single-arm trial, CRT was associated with lower CSS and OS than reported in prior clinical trials. Additional studies are required to determine if this is related to the efficacy or completeness of CRT in population-based practices or differences between trial and non-trial populations.
