Summary
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in
chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or
die. Combining more than one drug and combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill
more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy combined with
fluorouracil and cisplatin in treating patients who have stage II or stage III bladder
cancer, and who have undergone transurethral resection.
