Abstract
Platycodin D is an active component isolated from Chinese herb Platycodonis radix with various pharmacological activities, such as antitussive, expectorant, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects. Interestingly, platycodin D also exerts anticancer effects against several types of cancer. However, few studies on the anti-tumour effects of platycodin against urinary bladder cancer have been reported. In this study, we explored the anti-tumour effect of platycodin D against human bladder cancer and its mechanisms in vitro and in vivo. We found that platycodin D had significant anti-proliferative effects on four types of cancer cells, especially the 5637 bladder cancer cell line, and exerted these effects by preventing cell cycle progression from G0/G1 to S phase, down-regulating Ki-67 and cyclin D1 protein expression and up-regulating P21 protein expression. Furthermore, platycodin D inhibited 5637 cell migration by decreasing twist-related protein 1 (Twist1) and matrix metallopeptidase 2 (MMP2) expression and exerted significant tumour-suppressive effects in tumour-bearing nude mice. Platycodin D also increased caspase-9, caspase-8, caspase-3, and p53 expression and decreased Bcl-2 expression in tumour tissues. Taken together, our results provide a theoretical basis for application of platycodin D in treating urinary bladder cancer.

A Pilot Study of Radiotherapy and Local Hyperthermia in Elderly Patients With Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancers Unfit for Definitive Surgery or Chemoradiotherapy. Front Oncol 2019; 9:889. [PMID: 31552192 PMCID: PMC6746906 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2019.00889] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2019] [Accepted: 08/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose: To present the outcomes of a pilot study with hyperthermia (HT) and radiotherapy (RT) in elderly patients of muscle-invasive bladder cancers (MIBC) unfit for surgery or chemoradiotherapy (CTRT). Methods: Sixteen elderly patients with unifocal or multifocal MIBCs received a total dose of 48 Gy/16 fractions/4 weeks or 50 Gy/20 fractions/4 weeks, respectively. HT with a radiofrequency HT unit was delivered once weekly for 60 min before RT and a mean temperature of 41.3°C was attained (maximum temperature 41.1–43.5°C). Local control was assessed using RECIST criteria at 3-monthly intervals by cystoscopy with or without biopsy. Results: The median age, KPS and age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index were 81 years, 70 and 5, respectively. At median follow-up of 18.5 months (range: 4–65), bladder preservation was 100% with satisfactory function. 11/16 patients (68.7%) had no local and/or distant failure, while isolated local, distant and combined local and distant failures were evident in 2, 2, and 1 patient, respectively. Two local failures were salvaged by TUR-BT resulting in a local control rate of 93.7%. The 5-year cause-specific (CS) local disease free survival (LDFS), disease free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) were 64.3, 51.6, and 67.5%, respectively while 5-year non-cause-specific (NCS)-LDFS, NCS-DFS, and NCS-OS were 26.5, 23.2, and 38%, respectively. None of the patients had acute or late grade 3/4 gastrointestinal or genitourinary toxicities. Conclusions: The outcomes from this pilot study indicate that thermoradiotherapy is a feasible therapeutic modality in elderly MIBC patients unfit for surgery or CTRT. HTRT is well-tolerated, allows bladder preservation and function, achieves long-term satisfactory locoregional control and is devoid of significant treatment-related morbidity. This therapeutic approach deserves further evaluation in randomized studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For elderly or medically unfit patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, cystectomy or chemotherapy are contraindicated. This leaves radical radiotherapy as the only treatment option. It was the aim of this study to retrospectively analyze the treatment outcome and associated toxicity of conformal versus intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) using a focal simultaneous tumor boost for muscle-invasive bladder cancer in patients not suitable for cystectomy. METHODS One hundred eighteen patients with T2-4 N0-1 M0 bladder cancer were analyzed retrospectively. Median age was 80 years. Treatment consisted of either a conformal box technique or IMRT and included a simultaneous boost to the tumor. To enable an accurate boost delivery, fiducial markers were placed around the tumor. Patients were treated with 40 Gy in 20 fractions to the elective treatment volumes, and a daily tumor boost up to 55-60 Gy. RESULTS Clinical complete response was seen in 87 % of patients. Three-year overall survival was 44 %, with a locoregional control rate of 73 % at 3 years. Toxicity was low, with late urinary and intestinal toxicity rates grade ≥ 2 of 14 and 5 %, respectively. The use of IMRT reduced late intestinal toxicity, whereas fiducial markers reduced acute urinary toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Radical radiotherapy using a focal boost is feasible and effective for elderly or unfit patients, with a 3-year locoregional control of 73 %. Toxicity rates were low, and were reduced by the use of IMRT and fiducial markers.

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated with TURB followed by concomitant boost with small reduction of radiotherapy field with or without of chemotherapy. Rep Pract Oncol Radiother 2015; 21:31-6. [PMID: 26900355 DOI: 10.1016/j.rpor.2015.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2015] [Revised: 06/15/2015] [Accepted: 09/02/2015] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the clinical outcome and toxicity of the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) that combined transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURB) with "concomitant boost" radiotherapy delivered over a shortened overall treatment time of 5 weeks, with or without concurrent chemotherapy. BACKGROUND Local control of MIBC by bladder-sparing approach is unsatisfactory. In order to improve the effectiveness of radiotherapy, we have designed a protocol that combines TURB with a non-conventionally fractionated radiotherapy "concomitant boost". MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2004 and 2010, 73 patients with MIBC cT2-4aN0M0, were treated with "concomitant boost" radiotherapy. The whole bladder with a 2-3 cm margin was irradiated with fractions of 1.8 Gy to a dose of 45 Gy, with a "concomitant boost" to the bladder with 1-1.5 cm margin, during the last two weeks of treatment, as a second fraction of 1.5 Gy, to a total dose of 60 Gy. Radiochemotherapy using mostly cisplatin was delivered in 42/73(58%) patients, 31/73(42%) patients received radiotherapy alone. RESULTS Acute genitourinary toxicity of G3 was scored in 3/73(4%) patients. Late gastrointestinal toxicity higher than G2 and genitourinary higher than G3 were not reported. Complete remission was achieved in 48/73(66%), partial remission in 17/73(23%), and stabilization disease in 8/73(11%) patients. Three- and five-year overall, disease specific and invasive locoregional disease-free survival rates were 65% and 52%, 70% and 59%, 52% and 43%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS An organ-sparing approach using TURB followed by radio(chemo)therapy with "concomitant boost" in patients with MIBC allows to obtain long-term survival with acceptable toxicity.

Abstract
AIMS AND BACKGROUND The main objective of this study is to evaluate outcomes of bladder preservation treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN 38 patients with histologically proven muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated at our department between January 2008 and December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Age, gender, pathology, stage, 3-year overall survival, 3-year disease-free survival, radiotherapy (RT) dose, genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicity scores and response evaluation of the patients were recorded. 3-year overall survival and 3-year disease-free survivals were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method along with the analysis of gender, pathology, stage and therapy response of the study group. RESULTS 33 patients (86.8%) were managed with concomitant chemoradiotherapy whereas 5 patients (13.2%) received only radiation therapy due to renal insufficency and comorbid diseases. 6 (15.8%) out of 38 patients had partial response (PR) and remaining 32 (84.2%) patients experienced complete response (CR). The PR group underwent salvage cystectomy and CR group had been followed-up after radical radiotherapy. Mean age of the group was 70.9 (range 45-90) years. 26 of all patients were male (68.4%) and 12 were female (31.6%). Mean follow-up time after completion of radiotherapy was 24.7 months (range 12-40). Mean RT dose was 64 Gy (range 60-66). 3-year overall survival was 64% and 3-year disease free survival was 73%. CONCLUSIONS Bladder preserving approach is an alternative definitive therapy solution to radical cystectomy in the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer with less morbidity, preserved natural bladder, and high quality of life.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes achieved by use of preoperative intra-arterial chemotherapy and transurethral resection of bladder tumors as bladder preservation therapy in treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Patients with clinical stage T2-T4aN0M0 muscle-invasive bladder cancer were treated with 3 courses of preoperative cisplatin-based intra-arterial chemotherapy at 4-week intervals. Following treatment, the tumors were completely removed by transurethral resection, and all patients received epirubicin for intra-vesical instillation as a maintenance strategy. Patients showing a complete response received continuous monitoring, and radical cystectomy was strongly recommended for patients who did not achieve a complete response. Between August 2005 and October 2012, a total of 127 patients completed treatment with a bladder preservation therapy, and the median follow-up time for all patients was 31.9 months (range 5-87 months). Among these patients, 91 (71.7%) achieved a complete response, and the 5-year overall survival and disease-specific survival rates for all patients were 50.2 and 59.5%, respectively. Among the patients who demonstrated a complete response, 10 experienced a superficial relapse and 15 experienced an invasive cancer relapse. The 5-year recurrence-free and progression-free survival rates were 62.2 and 76.9%, respectively. An analysis of tumor-related factors suggested that clinical stage was significant for predicting both complete response and overall survival. These results suggest that preoperative intra-arterial chemotherapy combined with transurethral resection of the bladder tumor is useful for bladder preservation in certain patients with invasive bladder cancer. Patients with stage T2 tumors are best suited for this type of therapy.

Abstract
The role of radiotherapy (RT) in the treatment of urinary bladder cancer has undergone several modifications along the last decades. In the beginning, definitive RT was used as treatment in an attempt to preserve the urinary bladder; however, the results were poor compared to those of radical surgery. Recently, many protocols have been developed supporting the use of multi-modality therapy, and the concept of organ preservation began to be reconsidered. Although phase III randomized clinical studies comparing radical cystectomy with bladder preservation therapies do not exist, the conservative treatment may present low toxicity and high indexes of complete response for selected patients. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the subject in order to situate RT in the current treatment of urinary bladder cancer.
