Background
• Radiation-induced hemorrhagic cystitis is a complex condition with a
paucity of high-level evidence to guide treatment decisions.
• This best practice report provides suggestions for management
according to different clinical states and presentations:
– Initial management (including diagnosis and assessment)
– Persistent or recurrent clinically significant hematuria
– Life-threatening and refractory hematuria
• These slides summarize recommendation statements from the best
practice report. A detailed explanation with supporting evidence can be
found in the journal article.
