Brief Summary
Bladder cancer is the most common type of urothelial cancer. When the disease has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic disease), the prognosis is often poor, because there are only a few effective treatment options available. At the moment, standard treatment mainly includes systemic therapies, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors). These treatments act on the whole body. However, the use of local treatments, such as stereotactic radiotherapy, has not been well studied in bladder cancer. Stereotactic radiotherapy is a type of radiation treatment that delivers very high doses of radiation to the tumor in a small number of treatment sessions. This technique is already widely used to treat a limited number of metastases (called oligometastases) from other types of cancer. The aim of this study is to understand whether stereotactic radiotherapy is also effective and safe for treating oligometastases coming from bladder cancer.

Secondary Outcomes (3)
SBRT Toxicities
From treatment to 12 months follow up
quality of life of treated patients
from treatment to 12 months follow up
immune response in patients treated with SBRT
from treatment to 12 months follow up
Study Arms (2)
ONLY SYSTEMIC TREATMENT
NO INTERVENTIONpatients will be treated according to clinical practice with systemic treatment only
SBRT
EXPERIMENTALpatients will be treated with systemic treatment and SBRT on oligometastatic lesions
Interventions
Stereotactic radiotherapy is a type of radiation treatment that delivers very high doses of radiation to the tumor in a small number of treatment sessions, it wil be used to treat oligometastatic disease
