Distant Metastasis From Bladder Cancer The rate of distant metastasis in TCC ranged from from 12-35% (Miller, 1977 & Werf-Messing, 1982). In a retrospective study Zaghloul (1996) reported upon distant metastasis in 357 patients treated either with cystectomy, preoperative or postoperative radiotherapy (i.e. No chemotherapy received) the 5-year cumulative incidence of distant metastasis was 23±2%.
Results of Radical Cystectomy 5-year disease- free survival rates of radical cystectomy ranged from 25-48% depending upon the stage, grade & nodal status. Local recurrence represented 50-60% of the causes of failure after radical cystectomy in advanced stages. Most of the local recurrences were clinically detected within the first year after cystectomy. This suggests that it originate from a large residual tumour cell burden. Most of the local recurrences were inside the true pelvis that can be encompassed within the field of radiation.
Bladder Preservation Protocols
Organ Preservation is not exclusive for UB carcinoma Anal carcinoma. Breast carcinoma. Esophageal carcinoma. Laryngeal carcinoma. Limb sarcomas. Prostate carcinoma.
WHY? Preserve Bladder function. Preserve sexual function. Maintain quality of life and body image. Avoid major surgery. Many patients are elderly. Co-morbidities that make patient inoperable.
Radical cystectomy (RC) is associated with considerable morbidity. Aside from the perioperative period, RC with urinary diversion poses great potential for long-term complications and morbidity. Bladder preservation therapies for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) have been developed to address the needs of two cohorts : Patients with severe medical co-morbidities for whom a radical surgery is too high risk. Patients with limited disease who wish to avoid radical surgery. The goal of achieving complete response to treatment while maintaining bladder form and function has led to the development of multimodal approaches to this disease.
In medically operable patients ( fit for surgery), there is abundant evidence to support trimodal therapy as an acceptable treatment option for highly selected patients with MIBC with favourable pathological parameters. While outcomes are worse for medically inoperable patients ( unfit for surgery), bladder preservation approaches still offer curative potential.
Small tumor size (<2 cm). Early tumor stage (T2,T3 disease). Complete TURBT. No ureteral obstruction (Hydronephrosis). No evidence of pelvic lymph node metastases. Absence of carcinoma in situ (Tis).
Radiotherapy Chemotherapy
University of Paris/Harvard University University of Erlangen
Maximal TURBT Cover systemic disease XRT + Concomitant Chemotherapy Radiosenstization of tissues Cystoscopic response evaluation CR Consolidation Chemo-radiation (64Gy) +/- adjuvant chemo Non-CR Radical Cystectomy +/- adjuvant chemo
Max. TURBT 3 cycles of Gem+Cisplatin Follow up cystoscopy CR another 3 cycles + Rth Reaidual Disease Unfit Radiochemo fit Cysectomy
What is the importance of an aggressive TURBT for Cystectomy Avoidance? The TURBT must be done with the determination to resect all visible tumor. Nothing less will suffice. 2009 NM Heney et al NATURE Rev Clin Oncol
Pathological exam of cystoscopic biopsy should comment on: Tumor growth pattern. Grade. Evidence of muscle invasion. Multifocality. Presence of associated carcinoma in situ.

What about side effects and toxicity?
Results Median follow-up was 5.4 years (range, 2.0 to 13.2 years). 7% experienced late grade 3 + pelvic toxicity: 5.7% GU and 1.9% GI. Notably there were no late grade 4 toxicities. No treatment-related deaths. None of the clinical variables studied predicted for late grade 3 + pelvic toxicity. Conclusion Rates of significant late pelvic toxicity for patients completing combined-modality therapy for invasive bladder cancer and retaining their native bladder are low.
Bloom 1982 study, preoperative radiation treatment consisted of 4000 cgy in 4 weeks to the whole pelvis followed 4 weeks later by cystectomy (method not stated). The radical radiotherapy schedule was 4000 cgy in 4 weeks plus a 2000 cgy boost in 2 weeks to the bladder and perivesical tissue. Eighteen patients had salvage cystectomy for recurrent or residual tumour. Miller 1973 study the preoperative and radical radiotherapy schedules were 5000 cgy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks and 7000 cgy in 35 fractions over 7 weeks, respectively. Radical cystectomy consisted of radical cystoprostatectomy (anterior pelvic exenteration in women) and bilateral ureto-ileostomy with no node dissection. Two patients underwent salvage cystectomy following radical radiotherapy. Sell 1991 employed radiotherapy to the whole pelvis with rectal shielding using schedules of 4000 cgy in 20 fractions over 5 weeks (pre-operative) and a total dose of 6000 cgy (radical). Cystectomy was performed according to the method of Whitmore 1977, which included cystoprostatectomy plus pelvic lymph node dissection, and diversion as an ileal conduit. A nerve-sparing procedure was carried out in 9 patients from the radical cystectomy group and 2 from the radical radiotherapy group.
