Abstract 3693
Background
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) with cisplatin-based chemotherapy for muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) has improves overall survival as compared to radical cystectomy (RC) alone. Our group has previously reported high risk features of MIBC that increase benefit of NAC. We report our institutional experience with NAC for patients with high-risk MIBC.
Methods
The records of consecutive high-risk, clinically node negative MIBC patients who underwent RC at our institution between 2005 and 2017 were reviewed. Pre-operative high-risk criteria included one or more of lymphovascular invasion, hydronephrosis, extravesical disease, and/or variant histology. Clinicopathologic and demographic information was collected, including eGFR and a previously validated frailty index. The primary outcomes were pathologic complete response (pCR=pT0N0M0) and downstaging to In our cohort (n = 674), 74.3% (n = 501) of patients received any NAC, most commonly dose dense MVAC (39.3%, n = 265) followed by gemcitabine/cisplatin (GC) (13.1%, n = 88), other cisplatin-based regimens (OCBR) (10.4%, n = 70), and non-cisplatin regimen (NCBR) (11.6%, n = 78) were used with similar frequency. The pCR rate was significantly lower without NAC at only 7.5% (n = 13, p < 0.01), while ddMVAC (30.2%, n = 80), GC (25%, n = 22), OCBR (25.7%, n = 18), and NCBR (23.1%, n = 18) all yielded similar results (p = 0.55). When controlling for age, baseline eGFR, frailty index, and clinical T stage the chemotherapeutic regimen was not significantly predictive of achieving The benefits of NAC for MIBC have been repeatedly demonstrated, however, the rate of pathologic CR in high-risk muscle invasive disease has not been reported in a large series. In our high risk MIBC group, NAC led to significant higher pCR rate as compared to upfront surgery. These findings will serve as a benchmark for future neoadjuvant studies for evaluation of novel regimens. The authors. Has not received any funding. M.T.
