ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).METHODS:
We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent neoadjuvant GC therapy followed by radical cystectomy from April 2009 through December 2015 in the Sapporo Medical University Urologic Consortium. The efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) was assessed based on the pathological T0 (pT0) rate in radical cystectomy specimens, and the recurrence-free survival, cause-specific survival and overall survival (OS) rates. To compare the oncological benefit of NC with GC to that of the methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin and cisplatin (MVAC) regimen, we also utilized historical clinical data of patients who were treated with MVAC as NAC followed by radical cystectomy in our institute from 1986 through 2010.RESULTS:
Fifty-eight patients receiving neoadjuvant GC therapy and 74 receiving neoadjuvant MVAC were included. The pT0 achieving rates were comparable between the two groups (20.7% vs. 18.9%, P = 0.83). Neoadjuvant GC was associated with a better 2-year OS rate than neoadjuvant MVAC for clinical T2 disease (95.2% vs. 70.8%, P = 0.036). In contrast, in patients with clinical T3 or more advanced disease, neoadjuvant MVAC provided more pT0 (20.0% vs. 5.6%, P = 0.07) and better 2-year OS than neoadjuvant GC (71.1% vs. 55.0%, P = 0.142), although the difference did not reach statistical significance.CONCLUSIONS:
Neoadjuvant GC had no inferiority in oncological outcomes to MVAC for MIBC.
