cT2TREATMENT • Selective bladder sparing following maximal TUR (only if no hydronephrosis); Chemotherapy/RT • Evaluate with cystoscopy and TURBT • +ve: Radical cystectomy • -ve: Observation and/or Chemo/RT and/or Adj chemo
cT2TREATMENT • Highly selected pts with extensive comorbid diseases or poor PS: • TURBT alone or RT alone or Chemo alone: • Evaluate with cystoscopy and TURBT • +ve: Radical cystectomy • -ve: Observation and/or Chemo+ RT and/or Adj chemo
If TURBT alone • Aggressive re-resection of the site within 4 weeks of the primary procedure to ensure that there is no residual disease. • If the repeat TURBT is -ve, repeat cysto every 3 months until a relapse is documented.
RT or Chemotherapy alone is not considered adequate and standard without additional treatment to the bladder and remains investigational
cT3, N0 • Radical cystectomy, consider neoadj chemo: • Consider adj chemo (pT3, +ve LN) if no neoadj treatment given • Selective bladder sparing following maximal TURBT; chemo/RT: • cystoscopy, cytology and TURBT • -ve: Observe and/or Consolidation chemo/RT and/or Adj chemo • +ve: Cystectomy or salvage therapy
Bladder-sparing • Reasonable alternative to cystectomy for pts: • who are medically unfit for surgery • who seek an alternative • No hydronephrosis. • Mets must be excluded. • Complete TURBT as safely as possible • Exam Under Anesthesia
Muscle-invasiveConcurrent ChemoRT • Complete TURBT • Induction ohase: • 40 Gy of external beam RT + Two doses of cisplatin on weeks 1 and 4. • Repeat cysto: • If residual disease, a cystectomy is advised. • If is no visible disease and the cytology and biopsy are negative (T0): • Add 25 Gy of external-beam RT + one dose of cisplatin. • 70% of pts were rendered tumor-free in the bladder at the initial post-treatment cystoscopy exam. • About 1/4 developed a new superficial or invasive lesion requiring additional therapy
cT4a - T4b, N0 • Chemo or Chemo/RT: • Good response: Consider consolidation chemo +/-RT or Surgery • Surgery ± chemo (select cT4a pts only)

Relapses in the Bladder After Bladder-Sparing Approaches • Invasive disease: • 2nd attempt of bladder preservation is not advisable. • Radical cystectomy: • Salvage cystectomy may not be possible for pts who has received a full course RT (> 65 Gy) and has bulky residual disease. • salvage non-cross-resistant chemo is advised

NON-TRANSITIONAL CELL CARCINOMA (TCC) • Same as TCC management with the following issues: • Mixed Histology: • Complete response less likely with bladder sparing • Pure Squamous: • Cystectomy or RT • Adenocarcinoma: • MVAC ineffective • Cystectomy or partial cystectomy • Consider 5-FU-based therapy • Urachal tumors require complete urachal resection • Small-cell: • Neoadjuvant or adjuvant small-cell chemo regimens • Local treatment (surgery, RT)
PRINCIPLES OF CHEMOTHERAPY • MVAC: • Toxicities limit its use • Historical standard of care based on improved survival and response rates when compared to older regimens. • Gemcitabine/cisplatin • Not inferior to MVAC in terms of survival. • Favorable toxicity profile. • standard 1st choice for most pts. • Alternative Regimens • Cisplatin/paclitaxel • Gemcitabine/paclitaxel • Carboplatin/paclitaxel
PRINCIPLES OF CHEMOTHERAPY • Adj: At least 4 cycles of a cisplatin-based chemo (eg. M-VAC). • Adj for High Risk pts: • T2 tumors with nodal involvement • high-G • transmural invasion, or vascular invasion • P53 positive • No data support the use of adj chemo for non-TCC, regardless of stage.
