“…The survival rates obtained in this study were similar to the rates reported in the literature [1,2,4,5,6]. Importantly, these survival rates were obtained despite the significantly higher rate of older patients (54% of patients older than 70 years) and the comorbid conditions (30 patients judged unfit for radical cystectomy).…”

“…Patients who are too sick to safely undergo surgery or who are unwilling to accept the morbidity of surgery select alternative treatment with chemo-radiation therapy. Several larger phases II-III studies of chemo-radiation therapy series compare favorably to results reported by primary cystectomy (with or without adjuvant therapy) with 60% to 70% of complete response after chemo-radiation [1][2][3][4] and 3-year overall survival at 40%-50% [2,4,5,6]. Further 75% of the patients achieved cure with maintained bladder function [7,8].…”

“…52 The subsequent RTOG 95-06 trial treated 34 patients with twice-daily irradiation and concurrent cisplatin and 5-FU and reported a 3-year OS rate of 83%. 57 In the RTOG 97-06 trial, 47 patients received twice-daily irradiation and concurrent cisplatin, and also received adjuvant chemotherapy with CMV 58 ; the 3-year OS rate was 61%. In the RTOG 99-06 study, 80 patients received twice-daily irradiation plus cisplatin and paclitaxel, followed by adjuvant cisplatin and gemcitabine; the 5-year OS rate was 56%.…”

“…[51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] A combined analysis of survivors from these 4 trials, with a median follow-up of 5.4 years, showed that combined-modality therapy was associated with low rates of late grade 3 toxicity (5.7% genitourinary and 1.9% gastrointestinal). 61 No late grade 4 toxicities or treatment-related deaths were recorded.…”

“…Trimodality therapy consisting of radical transurethral resection, chemotherapy and radiation therapy has been attempted as an alternative approach for patients who require cystectomy. Data from multiple institutional and cooperative group studies have shown that this approach is safe and effective, yielding a complete response (CR) in more than 60% of cases (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). However, prospective protocols conducted by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) demonstrated a survival rate similar to that for radical cystectomy; none of the protocols achieved a 5-year survival rate of more than 60% (9-13).…”
