Abstract

Presently, for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, radical cystectomy is considered to be the standard treatment. Bladder preservation, in the interest of quality of life, is secondary to the primary treatment goal of curing the patient. We present a 14-year multivariate analysis of prognostic factors influencing survival and bladder preservation after transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) and radiotherapy (RT) +/- chemotherapy. From May 1982 to May 1996, sequential cohorts of 333 patients with bladder cancer (mean age: 66 years) were treated by either RT alone (128 patients), or with platin-based concomitant radiochemotherapy (RCT, 205 patients) after TURB. Patients (282) with muscle-invasive or T1 high-risk cancers (Grade III, residual tumor after TURB, multifocality, tumor diameter > 5 cm, associated Tis or Ta, multiple recurrences or lymph node metastases), who received a minimal target dose of 45 Gy were selected for analysis (med. follow-up = 7.5 years): after October 1985, 115 patients received cisplatin (25 mg/m2) and 69 patients carboplatin (65 mg/m2) before every treatment fraction (1.8 Gy) on Days 1-5 and 29-33 of conventional fractionated RT. Complete remission rate was 20% (55 of 282 patients) after radical TUR...Continue Reading
