Long-Term Outcomes After Bladder-Preserving Combined-Modality Therapy For Patients With Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

398 Background: Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), chemotherapy (CT), and radiation therapy (RT) is an established treatment paradigm for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Herein we report long-term outcomes for MIBC patients treated with combined-modality therapy (CMT). Methods: We analyzed 465 patients with MIBC (cT2-T4a) treated on successive protocols at a single center between 1986 and 2012. Patients underwent TURBT followed by concurrent cisplatin-based chemoradiation (CRT). A subset of patients received neoadjuvant CT. Repeat cystoscopy was performed after 40 Gy. Patients with a complete response (CR) received consolidation CRT to 64-65 Gy, while those with less than a CR or invasive recurrence were recommended to undergo salvage RC. Overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: Median follow-up was 4.8 years for all patients and 7.5 years for surviving patients. CR to inductio...
