Neoadjuvant vs. Adjuvant Chemotherapy in Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC): Analysis From the RISC Database.

ABSTRACT: Background: MIBC is an aggressive disease, with 5-year survival rates ranging from 36 to 48% for p T3/p T4/p N+tumors. Perioperative treatment can improve overall survival, with more robust evidence in favor of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Few randomized studies have compared neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy in bladder cancer. Consequently, it has been difficult to establish the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in MIBC. Methods: Data from patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (>pT2) collected from 2005 to 2012 within the RISC data base (Retrospective International Study of Cancers of the Urothelial Tract) were evaluated. Overall survival (OS), cancer specific survival (CSS), and disease-free survival (DFS) between NC and AC generated using the Kaplan-Meier method were compared for MIBC by log-rank test. All patients in this analysis received either NC or AC. Results: A total of 656 patients with MIBC (325 treated with AC and 331 with NC) were analyzed. The median DFS was 34.6 months (95% CI:25.3-43.9) for NC vs. 24.9 months (95% CI: 19.4-30.5) with AC, with a reduction in the risk of disease progression of 21% in favor of NC (HR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.63-0.96, P = 0.02). There were no significant differences in terms of CSS (HR: 1.06, 95% CI: 0.79-1.43, P: 0.70), and OS (HR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.83-1.39, P = 0.57). Conclusions: This study demonstrates superiority in DFS for NC compared to AC. The positive prognostic impact of complete pathological response to NC was confirmed.

Project description:BackgroundBladder-sparing chemoradiation therapy is a definitive first-line treatment option for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Randomized trials have demonstrated that the addition of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to radical cystectomy or radiation monotherapy results in a survival benefit. Whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves outcomes when used with definitive chemoradiation is unknown.Patients and methodsWe identified 2566 patients in the National Cancer Data Base with cT2-4N0M0 urothelial cell carcinoma of the bladder treated with definitive intent concurrent chemoradiation from 2004 to 2015. The exposure of interest was receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus those without neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The primary outcome was overall survival defined from the time of diagnosis. Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazard analyses were used to compare survival between groups. Sensitivity analyses tested (1) an interaction term for clinical T stage and (2) defining survival from start of radiation (as opposed to time of diagnosis) to address potential leading time bias.ResultsWe identified 462 patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by chemoradiation and 2104 patients treated with chemoradiation alone. With a median follow-up of 6.2 years, we found no difference in survival between groups: 5-year or 10-year overall survival of 30.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 28.4%-32.9%) in the neoadjuvant group versus 31.8% (95% CI, 27.0%-36.8%) in the standard chemoradiation therapy group and 13.3% (95% CI, 11.2%-15.5%) in the neoadjuvant group versus 13.0% (95% CI, 8.4%-18.7%) in the standard chemoradiation therapy group, respectively (log-rank P = .19). On multivariable analysis we found no association between receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and overall survival (hazard ratio, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.88-1.15; P = .921). The sensitivity analyses did not identify any differential effect by clinical T stage nor by defining survival from start of radiation.ConclusionThese results do not support the routine addition of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to definitive chemoradiation for bladder cancer, and optimizing the chemotherapy sequencing and regimens for bladder-preserving approaches to muscle invasive bladder cancer should continue to be studied under prospective clinical trials.

Project description:BackgroundThe expression alterations of B4GALT1 have been noted in some types of cancer and they are related to cancer cell proliferation, invasiveness, metastasis, and drug resistance. We aimed to establish the expression of B4GALT1 in bladder cancer and its connection to patient outcomes, as well as forecasting the advantages of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).MethodsThere were 142 and 112 MIBC patients who were consecutively recruited and treated via radical cystectomy from 2008 to 2012 in Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital and Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC), respectively. Tissue microarrays (TMAs) were constructed in triplicate from specimens that had been fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin samples. Immunohistochemistry was conducted to evaluate B4GALT1 expression in tumor cores, the connection between B4GALT1 expression and patients' clinical characteristics, and clinical results.ResultsB4GALT1 expression was not connected to clinical prognosis markers, but it was linked to overall survival (OS) (P = 0.013 and P = 0.010, respectively) in the two groups. Moreover, the high levels of B4GALT1 expression were independent indicators of poor OS (P = 0.026 and P = 0.046, respectively). Inclusion of B4GALT1 in the prognostic model revealed a greater predictive accuracy than the primary models. In addition, no differences were observed between B4GALT1 expression (low vs. high) and CD8+ T cell infiltration density (number/cm2) within tumor cores, but there was a positive Pearson correlation between B4GALT1 expression and expression of inhibitory receptor ligands, such as PD-L1 and CTLA4. Most significantly, the advantage of ACT noted in pT3/4 or N+ bladder cancer patients with low B4GALT1 expression was greater than in patients with a high B4GALT1 expression.ConclusionsOur evaluation indicated that B4GALT1 may be a possible prognosticator of MIBC, and it may be a predictive marker for the choice of ACT in pT3/4 or N+ patients.
