Radiotherapy with or without Chemotherapy in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer

Abstract: Synchronous chemotherapy with fluorouracil and mitomycin C combined with radiotherapy significantly improved locoregional control of bladder cancer, as compared with radiotherapy alone, with no significant increase in adverse events. (Funded by Cancer Research U.K.; BC2001 Current Controlled Trials number, ISRCTN68324339.).

“…62,63 In a randomized trial of 360 patients, RT with concurrent mitomycin C and 5-FU improved the 2-year locoregional DFS rate from 54% (RT alone) to 67% (P=.01), and 5-year OS rate from 35% to 48% (P=.16), without increasing grade 3/4 acute or late toxicity. 63 Hence, RT alone is only indicated for those who cannot tolerate a cystectomy or chemotherapy because of medical comorbidities.…”

“…RT with concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy or 5-FU plus mitomycin as a radiosensitizer is the most common and well-studied chemoRT method used to treat MIBC. [50][51][52][53][54]62,63,65 The following radiosensitizing regimens are recommended: cisplatin plus 5-FU; cisplatin plus paclitaxel; and 5-FU plus mitomycin C. Doublet chemotherapy is generally preferred. Cisplatin alone or low-dose gemcitabine (category 2B) may be considered as alternative regimens.…”

“…Recent radiotherapy studies, evaluating concurrent regimes with radio-sensitizers, such as chemotherapy or carbogen and nicotinamide, have seen survival outcomes improve and equal results from contemporary surgical series [7,8]. Unfortunately, a randomised trial directly comparing surgical and radiotherapy outcomes in this disease has not been completed.…”
