Abstract
The aim of this study was to report the long-term results of a conservative local treatment of male patients with bladder-prostate rhabdomyosarcoma (BPRMS) focusing on their outcome and quality of life (QoL). From 1991 to 2007, 27 male patients were treated by a single team, according to the ongoing European protocols. Surgical procedure was partial cystectomy or partial prostatectomy or both, followed by low-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy. Three patients died of metastases and two were excluded; 22 patients, who were long-term survivors with their bladder, received a QoL questionnaire derived from the International Workshop on BPRMS. Urodynamic studies were performed when patients had abnormal continence. Median age at surgery was 24 months (14 months-11 years). Median followup after surgery was 10 years (5-21 years); 18 male patients (77%) completed the questionnaire at a median age of 13 years (7-25 years); 13 considered themselves as having a normal QoL, with normal urinary continence (9 of 13) or very rare diurnal dribbling (4 of 13). Four male patients had frequent diurnal dribbling requiring protection for three of them and one was submitted to intermittent catheterism for a postoperative neurogenic bladder.
