ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Bladder-sparing trimodal therapy (TMT) is an alternative to radical cystectomy (RC) according to international guidelines. However, there are limited data to guide management of nonmetastatic clinically node-positive bladder cancer (cN+ M0 BCa). We performed a multicenter retrospective analysis of survival outcomes in node-positive patients to inform practice.METHODS:
Data from patients diagnosed with cN+ M0 BCa were collected from participating UK Oncology centers offering both TMT and RC. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) outcomes were collected with details of treatment and clinical factors.RESULTS:
A total of 287 patients with cN+ M0 BCa were included in the survival analysis. Median OS across all patients was 1.55 years (95% CI, 1.35 to 1.82 years). Receiving radical treatments was associated with improved OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.32; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.44; P < .001) compared with receiving palliative treatment. Radically treated patients (n = 163) received RC (n = 76) or radical dose radiotherapy (RT, n = 87); choice of radical treatment showed no association with OS (HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.63 to 1.41; P = .76) or PFS (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.50 to 1.08; P = .12) on multivariable analysis.CONCLUSION:
Patient cohorts with cN+ M0 BCa had equivalent survival outcomes whether treated with surgery or radical RT. Given the known morbidities of RC-in a patient group with poor survival-this study confirms that bladder-sparing TMT treatment should be a treatment option available to all patients with cN+ M0 BCa.
