Audience Poll How many routinely offer bladder preservation? If not why? Don t see MIBC Cystectomy is better CRT has too much toxicity CRT criteria too restrictive
MIBC: AUA/ASCO/ASTRO/SUO Guideline For patients with newly diagnosed non-metastatic MIBC who desire to retain their bladder and for those with significant comorbidities for whom radical cystectomy is not a treatment option, clinicians should offer bladder preserving therapy when clinically appropriate. (Clinical Principle) A multi-modal bladder preserving approach with its merits and disadvantages should be discussed in each individual case. Chang J Urol. 2017;198(3):552.
History of Radiation for Bladder Cancer 1960s: cystectomy alone disappointing 1960s/1970s: definitive RT not effective 1970s: PRE-OP RT (Whittmore MSKCC) gratifyingly improved RCT showed no benefit 1980s: chemotherapy reduced systemic failures 1980s: MGH subset analysis showed improvement in papillary tumors, complete resection Cummings Semin Oncol 1979; 6:220.

SPARE Trial RC vs RT for MIBC In chemotherapy responders: Due to the small number of patients, firm conclusions about disease and toxicity outcomes following these interventions cannot be drawn, although high rates of bladder preservation appear to be achievable in chemotherapy responders without compromising OS. Strong clinician and patient preferences for treatments impacted willingness to undergo randomisation and acceptance of treatment allocation. Huddart BJU Int. 2017 Nov;120(5):639.

Summary Bladder preservation is real world option for those who prefer to keep bladder or are not good cystectomy options Radiation is being evaluated in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors for both primary MIBC and urothelial metastases SBRT is an option for oligomets, local control is high
