Adjuvant Systemic Therapy for High-risk Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer After Radical Cystectomy: Current Options and Future Opportunities. Eur Urol Oncol 2022; 5:726-731. [PMID: 33967013 DOI: 10.1016/j.euo.2021.04.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2021] [Revised: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
We describe the case of a 71-yr-old woman with locally advanced muscle-invasive bladder cancer and stage III chronic kidney disease due to an obstructed nonfunctional left kidney. She was started on neoadjuvant immunotherapy, but had to stop treatment because of acute worsening of renal function. Radical cystectomy was then performed uneventfully, revealing pT3aN1 urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Adjuvant chemotherapy in high-risk locally advanced bladder cancer after radical cystectomy currently poses several challenges, especially for cisplatin-ineligible candidates. Recent data on adjuvant immunotherapy trials suggest a disease-free survival advantage for this subgroup of patients. The current and future role of immuno-oncology agents in this setting is discussed. PATIENT SUMMARY: Patients with advanced bladder cancer might benefit from further chemotherapy or immunotherapy following bladder removal, but it is still unclear which patients benefit the most from this strategy. Measurement of biomarkers and scans to show urinary function will probably help in optimising patient selection for this treatment in the near future.

First-line pembrolizumab for patients with early relapsing urothelial carcinoma after perioperative chemotherapy: a retrospective analysis of bladder cancer and upper urinary tract cancer. Int J Clin Oncol 2022; 27:1733-1741. [PMID: 36029377 DOI: 10.1007/s10147-022-02230-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 07/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND First-line pembrolizumab is available for recurrent disease within 12 months after the receipt of platinum-based perioperative chemotherapy. However, the benefit of first-line pembrolizumab is unclear. This study evaluated the oncological outcome of patients treated with pembrolizumab compared with chemotherapy as first-line therapy for early relapsing disease after the receipt of platinum-based perioperative chemotherapy. METHODS Data from a multicenter study included 454 patients diagnosed with unresectable or metastatic UC from November 2006 to July 2021. We identified patients with early and non-early relapsing disease. Oncological outcomes were evaluated using progression-free survival, overall survival, and survival with disease control. RESULTS Fifty-three patients with early relapsing disease and 15 patients with non-early relapsing disease were identified. Of 53 patients with early relapsing disease, 26 (49.1%) were treated with pembrolizumab and 27 (50.9%) were treated with chemotherapy as first-line therapy. Fifteen patients with non-early relapsing disease were treated with chemotherapy. Early relapsing disease was associated with shorter progression-free survival and overall survival than non-early relapsing disease. Pembrolizumab was associated with longer progression-free survival and survival with disease control than chemotherapy in patients with early relapsing disease. There was no significant difference in overall survival between pembrolizumab and chemotherapy, but overall survival plateau with a long tail was observed in pembrolizumab. CONCLUSIONS First-line pembrolizumab in earlier clinical settings for highly malignant tumors might improve the prognosis of patients with early relapsing disease after the receipt of platinum-based perioperative chemotherapy.

Abstract
AIM To compare overall mortality (OM), cancer-specific mortality (CSM), and other cause mortality (OCM) rates between radical prostatectomy (RP) versus radiotherapy (RT) in clinical node-positive (cN1) prostate cancer (PCa). MATERIALS AND METHODS Within Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) (2004-2016), we identified 4685 cN1 PCa patients, of whom 3589 (76.6%) versus 1096 (24.4%) were treated with RP versus RT. After 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM), Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox regression models tested the effect of RP versus RT on OM, while cumulative incidence plots and competing-risks regression (CRR) models addressed CSM and OCM between RP and RT patients. All analyses were repeated after the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). For CSM and OCM analyses, the propensity score was used as a covariate in the regression model. RESULTS Overall, RT patients were older, harbored higher prostate-specific antigen values, higher clinical T and higher Gleason grade groups. PSM resulted in two equally sized groups of 894 RP versus 894 RT patients. After PSM, 5-year OM, CSM, and OCM rates were, respectively, 15.4% versus 25%, 9.3% versus 17%, and 6.1% versus 8% for RP versus RT (all p < 0.001) and yielded respective multivariate hazard ratios (HRs) of 0.63 (0.52-0.78, p < 0.001), 0.66 (0.52-0.86, p < 0.001), 0.71 (0.5-1.0, p = 0.05), all favoring RP. After IPTW, Cox regression models yielded HR of 0.55 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.46-0.66) for OM, and CRR yielded HRs of 0.49 (0.34-0.70) and 0.54 (0.36-0.79) for, respectively, CSM and OCM, all favoring RP (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS RP may hold a CSM advantage over RT in cN1 PCa patients.

Carboplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy versus observation after radical cystectomy in patients with pN1-3 urothelial bladder cancer. World J Urol 2022; 40:1489-1496. [PMID: 35142865 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-022-03948-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To test the impact of carboplatin-based ACT on overall survival (OS) in patients with pN1-3 cM0 BCa. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1057 patients with pTany pN1-3 cM0 urothelial BCa treated with or without carboplatin-based ACT after radical cystectomy and bilateral lymph-node dissection between 2002 and 2018 at 12 European and North-American hospitals. No patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Only patients with negative surgical margins at surgery were included. A 3:1 propensity score matching (PSM) was performed using logistic regression to adjust for baseline characteristics. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to predict the effect of carboplatin-based ACT on OS. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to display OS in the matched cohort. RESULTS Of the 1057 patients included in the study, 69 (6.5%) received carboplatin-based ACT. After PSM, 244 total patients were identified in two cohorts that did not differ for baseline characteristics. Death was recorded in 114 (46.7%) patients over a median follow-up of 19 months. In the multivariable Cox regression analyses, increasing age at surgery (hazard ratio [HR] 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.06, p < 0.001) and increasing number of positive lymph nodes (HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.01-1.07, p = 0.02) were independent predictors of worse OS. The delivery of carboplatin-based ACT was not predictive of improved OS (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.43-1.04, p = 0.08). The main limitations of this study are its retrospective design and the relatively low number of patients involved. CONCLUSIONS Carboplatin-based might not improve OS in patients with pN1-3 cM0 BCa. Our results underline the need for alternative therapies for cisplatin-ineligible patients.

Prognostication in Japanese patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer undergoing early radical cystectomy. Int J Urol 2021; 29:242-249. [PMID: 34902876 DOI: 10.1111/iju.14759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2021] [Revised: 11/09/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The US Food and Drug Administration recently defined the clinical term "Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer" as a disease state resistant to adequate Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy. There is a significant lack of prognostication for this disease even in patients who have undergone early radical cystectomy. This study aimed to identify the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors in Japanese patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who underwent early radical cystectomy. METHODS Data from a large-scale multicenter retrospective study included 2879 patients with highest-risk or high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer who received intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin induction therapy between January 2000 and December 2019. A total of 141 patients (4.3%) met the criteria for Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-unresponsive disease, of whom 47 (33.3%) underwent early radical cystectomy. Prognostic factors for three clinical endpoints, namely, unresectable lesion-free survival, cancer-specific survival, and overall survival, were identified. RESULTS The highest-risk status at induction Bacillus Calmette-Guérin was associated with short unresectable lesion-free survival (hazard ratio 7.85; P < 0.05), cancer-specific survival (hazard ratio 12.24; P < 0.05), and overall survival (hazard ratio 9.25; P < 0.01). Moreover, extravesical tumors (pathological T3 or T4) on the radical cystectomy specimens were associated with poor prognosis and were found at a higher rate in patients with the highest-risk status at induction Bacillus Calmette-Guérin than in those with high-risk status (35.7% vs 21.2%). CONCLUSIONS The highest-risk status among the pre-Bacillus Calmette-Guérin factors was associated with upstaging to extravesical tumors and poor prognosis despite early radical cystectomy procedures. Appropriate decision-making and the correct timing of radical cystectomy are vital to avoid treatment delays and improve outcomes.

Extranodal Extension Predicts Poor Survival Outcomes among Patients with Bladder Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13164108.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several lymph node-related prognosticators were reported in bladder cancer patients with lymph node involvement and receiving radical cystectomy. However, extranodal extension (ENE) remained a debate to predict outcomes. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 1303 bladder cancer patients receiving radical cystectomy and bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection were identified in the National Taiwan Cancer Registry database from 2011 to 2017. Based on the 304 patients with lymph node involvement, the presence of ENE and major clinical information were recorded and calculated. The overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were estimated with Kaplan-Meier analysis and compared using the log-rank test. Hazard ratios (HR) and the associated 95% confidence intervals were calculated in the univariate and stepwise multivariable models. RESULTS In the multivariable analysis, ENE significantly reduced OS (HR = 1.74, 95% CI 1.09-2.78) and CSS (HR = 1.69, 95% CI 1.01-2.83) more than non-ENE. In contrast, adjuvant chemotherapy was significantly associated with better OS and CSS upon the identification of pathological nodal disease. CONCLUSIONS Reduced OS and CSS outcomes were observed in the pathological nodal bladder cancer patients with ENE compared with those without ENE. After the identification of pathological nodal disease, adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with better survival outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Radical cystectomy (RC) is the standard treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer, but approximately half of all patients will ultimately succumb to disease progression despite apparent cure with extirpative surgery. Elderly patients are at especially high risk of advanced disease and may benefit from perioperative systemic therapy. OBJECTIVE: To assess the real-world benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) in patients ≥75 years old. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent RC for non-metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) from 12 participating international medical institutions. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Cox regression models were used to assess the association between age groups, administration of AC and oncological outcome parameters such as recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: 4,335 patients were included in the analyses, of which 820 (18.9%) were ≥75 years old. These elderly patients had a higher rate of adverse pathologic features. In an univariable subgroup analysis in patients ≥75 years with lymph node metastasis, 5-year OS was significantly higher in patients who had received AC (41% vs. 30.9%, p = 0.02). In a multivariable Cox model that was adjusted for several established outcome predictors, there was a significant favorable association between the administration of AC in elderly patients and OS, but no RFS or CSS. CONCLUSIONS: In this large observational study, the administration of AC was associated with improved OS, but not RFS or CSS, in elderly patients treated with RC for UCB. This is of clinical importance, as elderly patients are more likely to have adverse pathologic features and experience worse survival outcomes. Treatment of UCB should include both a multidisciplinary approach and a geriatric evaluation to identify patients who are most likely to tolerate and benefit from AC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Open radical cystectomy (ORC) with pelvic lymph-node dissection (PLND) for bladder cancer (BCa) and urinary diversion is a morbid procedure, and advanced age has been associated with a higher incidence of Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3 complications. AIM To investigate the association between chronological age, survival outcomes, incidence of perioperative complications, and quality parameters in patients undergoing ORC. METHODS We reviewed 413 patients who underwent ORC and PLND at a single academic centre between December 2009 and June 2018 for cT2-T4N0M0 BCa. Complete clinical, demographic, and pathological data were collected in the preoperative, preoperative, and postoperative setting. Patients were categorized as ≥ 75 years or < 75 years and statistical analysis was performed accordingly. Besides descriptive statistics, Kaplan-Meier log-rank test was used. Cox regression univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess any potential predictor of OS and CSS. RESULTS There were 285 (69%) patients < 75 years and 128 (31%) patients ≥ 75 years old. There was no significant difference between the two age groups neither in terms of distribution of pathological stage nor in terms of overall incidence of postoperative complications. Chronological age was not significantly associated with survival outcomes on multivariate analysis. Finally, the comorbidity index was the only significant risk factor for the incidence of any complications (OR = 0.83, p = 0.002) at multivariate binary logistic regression. CONCLUSION Open radical cystectomy (ORC) is a feasible and safe procedure in patients with high-risk non-metastatic bladder cancer. Uro-oncologists should consider evaluating elderly patients for surgery according to a thorough geriatric assessment despite chronological age.

Radical cystectomy plus chemotherapy in patients with pure squamous cell bladder carcinoma: a population-based study. World J Urol 2020; 39:813-822. [PMID: 32424515 DOI: 10.1007/s00345-020-03247-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2020] [Accepted: 05/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To test the effect of perioperative chemotherapy (CHT) on overall mortality (OM) and cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in patients with locally advanced or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder (SCC UB). METHODS Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (1988-2016), we identified 1,018 SCC UB patients (664 T3-4aN0M0, 197 TanyN1-3M0 and 156 T4bN0-3 or M1), who underwent radical cystectomy with or without perioperative chemotherapy administration. Inverse probability of treatment-weighting (IPTW), Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox-regression models (CRMs) were used. RESULTS CHT was administrated in 116 (17.5%) T3-4aN0M0, 77 (39.1%) TanyN1-3M0 and 47 (30.1%) T4bN0-3 or M1 patients. IPTW-adjusted 2-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) was 66.5 vs. 71.5% (p = 0.19), 60.9 vs. 29.5% (p < 0.001) and IPTW-adjusted 1-year CSS was 46.2 vs. 31.1% (p = 0.03) for CHT vs. no CHT administration in T3-4aN0M0, TanyN1-3M0 and T4bN0-3 or M1, respectively. In multivariable IPTW-adjusted CRMs, chemotherapy was an independent predictor of lower CSM in TanyN1-3M0 (HR 0.44) and in T4bN0-3 or M1 (HR 0.60), but not in T3-4aN0M0 (p = 0.6) patients. Virtually the same results were obtained on OM, as well as without IPTW-adjustment and after stratification according to age and gender. CONCLUSIONS The use of perioperative CHT in patients with SCC UB confers survival benefit in the presence of T4b disease, lymph node or distant metastases. Conversely, patients with locally advanced disease but negative lymph node invasion do not benefit from its use. Pending higher quality data from prospective trials, these data should encourage the use of perioperative CHT in those high-risk patient groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the impact of perioperative chemotherapy on survival in cN+ BCa patients and analyze it according to the pN status. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 639 BCa patients with cTanyN1-3M0 BCa treated with radical cystectomy (RC) and bilateral lymph node dissection (LND) with or without perioperative chemotherapy in ten tertiary referral centers from 1990 to 2017. Selected cN+ patients received induction chemotherapy (IC), whereas adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) was delivered to selected pN+ patients. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to predict overall mortality (OM) after surgery, adjusting for clinicopathological confounders. Kaplan-Meier analyses assessed OM according to the treatment modality. RESULTS Overall, 356 (56%) patients were treated with surgery alone, 155 (24%) with IC followed by surgery, and 128 (20%) with ACT following surgery. Over a median follow-up of 25 months, 316 deaths were recorded. At univariable analysis, patients treated with IC and surgery had lower OM both considering cN+ [hazard ratio (HR) 0.65, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49-0.87, p = 0.004] and cN+pN- patients (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.37-0.99, p = 0.05) compared to those treated with surgery alone. cN+pN+ patients treated with ACT experienced lower OM compared to those treated with IC or surgery alone at multivariable analysis (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.22-0.74, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Patients with cTany cN+ cM0 BCa benefit more in terms of OS when treated with IC followed by RC + LND compared to RC + LND alone, regardless of LNMs at final histopathology examination. More data are needed to assess the role of ACT in the management of cN+ patients.

Abstract
The role of perioperative chemotherapy associated with radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive bladder cancer has been analyzed in several landmark randomized controlled trials (RCTs) over the past decades. With regard to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), a meta-analysis of level 1 evidence and long-term results from the largest RCTs support its use, which is currently advocated as the standard of care by most of the clinical guidelines worldwide. However, with regard to the delivery of adjuvant chemotherapy (AC), evidence is more contentious. Specifically, several meta-analyses demonstrated a survival benefit associated with the use of cisplatin-based regimen but investigators identified multiple methodological limitations in most of included RCTs. Nonetheless, AC is currently considered for fit patients with adverse pathological features at RC. It is noteworthy that the delivery of such cytotoxic treatment after surgery may maintain significant anti-tumor activity even in those patients who previously received NAC. Finally, given its greater response rate, the methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin plus cisplatin combination remains preferentially considered in the neoadjuvant setting, while the gemcitabine plus cisplatin combination is more commonly delivered in the adjuvant setting because of its better toxicity profile. However, no prospective evidence comparing efficacy of both regimens for NAC or AC is currently available.
