To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravesical hyaluronic acid (HA) instillation therapy for the prevention of radiation-induced cystitis in patients undergoing radiotherapy for bladder cancer.

Tumor invasion beyond the bladder wall into adjacent organs (T4b)

Non-urothelial carcinoma (including histologic variant) or predominant of non-urothelial components in mixed histology

Medically inoperable status or poor general condition (ECOG performance status > 2)
