ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Partial cystectomy (PC) for urothelial carcinoma (UC) in selected patients may avoid the morbidity of radical cystectomy (RC). We describe use and outcomes of PC for UC in routine clinical practice.METHODS:
All patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) undergoing PC or RC in Ontario from 1994-2008 were identified using the Ontario Cancer Registry and linked electronic records. Pathology reports were reviewed. Variables associated with PC use were identified using logistic regression. Cox proportional hazards model identified factors affecting cancer-specific (CSS) and overall survival (OS).RESULTS:
A total of 3320 patients underwent PC (n=181; 5%) or RC (n=3139; 95%) from 1994-2008. PC patients were older (36% 80+ years vs. 19%; p<0.001) and more likely to have organ-confined (CONCLUSIONS:
In routine clinical practice, PC is not common. A substantial proportion of patients treated with PC achieve long-term survival. PC remains a treatment option in selected patients with UCB.
