ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
It is unknown whether race/ethnicity affects access and/or survival after neoadjuvant (NAC) or adjuvant chemotherapy (ADJ) at radical cystectomy (RC). We addressed these knowledge gaps. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2007-2020), we identified NAC candidates (T2-T4N0M0) and ADJ candidates (T3-T4 and/or N1-3). We focused on the four most prevalent race/ethnicities Caucasians, Hispanics, African American (AA), and Asian/Pacific Islanders (API). Multivariable logistic regression models (MLR) tested access to NAC and ADJ. Subsequently, within NAC-exposed patients, survival analyses consisting of Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariable Cox regression models addressed CSM according to race/ethnicity were fitted. We repeated the same methodology in ADJ-exposed patients.RESULTS:
In 6418 NAC candidates, NAC was administered in 1011 (19.0%) Caucasians, 88 (21.0%) Hispanics, 65 (17.0%) AA, and 53 (18.0%) API. In MLR, AA exhibited lower access rates to NAC (OR 0.83, p = 0.04). In NAC-exposed patients, AA independently predicted higher CSM (HR 1.3, p < 0.001) and API independently predicted lower CSM (HR 0.83, p = 0.03). Similarly, in 5195 ADJ candidates, ADJ was administered to 1387 (33.0%) Caucasians, 100 (28.0%) Hispanics, 105 (29.0%) AA, and 90 (37.0%) API. In MLR, AA (OR 68, p = 0.003) and Hispanics (OR 0.69, p = 0.004) exhibited lower access rates to ADJ. In ADJ-exposed patients, AA independently predicted lower CSM (HR 1.32, p < 0.001), while API showed better CSM (HR 0.82, p = 0.01).CONCLUSION:
Relative to Caucasians, AA are less likely to receive either NAC or ADJ. Moreover, relative to Caucasians, AA exhibit higher CSM even when treated with either NAC or ADJ.
