Objective: To assess the joint effect of age and comorbidities on clinical outcomes of radical cystectomy (RC).Methods: 334 consecutive patients undergoing open RC for bladder cancer (BC) during the years 2005-2015 were analyzed. Pre-, peri- and post-operative parameters, including age at RC (ARC) and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), were evaluated. Overall and cancer-specific survivals (OS, CSS) were assessed by univariate and multivariate modelling. Furthermore, a three-knot restricted cubic spline (RCS) was fitted to survival data to detect dependency between death-rate ratio (HR) and ARC. Results: Median follow-up time was 3.8 years (IQR = 1.3-7.5) while median OS was 5.9 years (95%CL = 3.8-9.1). Globally, 180 patients died in our cohort (53.8%), 112 of which (62.2%) from BC and 68 patients (37.8%) for unrelated causes. After adjusting for preoperative, pathological and perioperative parameters, patients with CCI > 3 showed significantly higher death rates (HR = 1.61; p = 0.022). The highest death rate was recorded in ARC = 71-76 years (HR = 2.25; p = 0.034). After fitting an RCS to both OS and CSS rates, two overlapping nonlinear trends, with common highest risk values included in ARC = 70-75 years, were observed. Conclusions: Age over 70 years and CCI > 3 were significant factors limiting the survival of RC and should both be considered when comparing current RC outcomes.

248 Background: Radical cystectomy (RC) is the most common treatment for bladder cancer (BC) in the United States. We examined clinical-pathologic stage discrepancy using the National Cancer Data Base. Methods: 16,953 patients with BC treated with RC between 1998 and 2009 were analyzed. Clinical factors associated with stage discrepancy were assessed by multivariable generalized estimating equation models. Survival analysis was conducted for patients treated between 1998 and 2004 (N=7,270) using a Cox proportional hazards model. Results: 41.9% of patients were upstaged at RC while 5.9% were downstaged. Upstaging was more common in females (OR 1.08, p=.04), the elderly (OR 1.26 for age ≥80 vs. 18-59, p=.001), higher tumor grade (OR 2.29 for grade 3-4 vs. grade 1, p<.0001), non-urothelial histology (OR 1.31, p=.002 for squamous and OR 1.26, p=.03 for adenocarcinoma), and with extended lymphadenectomy (OR 1.27 for ≥10 lymph nodes examined vs. 0-9, p<.0001). Downstaging was less common in the elderly (OR 0.50 for age ≥80 vs. 18-59, p<.0001), in Hispanics (OR 0.58, p=.009) and with variant histology (OR 0.55, p=.003 for squamous and OR 0.3, p<.0001 for adenocarcinoma). Receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) was highly associated with downstaging (OR 2.31, p<.0001). 5-year survival by stage is shown in the table. Upstaging was associated with increased 5-year mortality (HR 1.79, p<.0001) as was receipt of CT (HR 1.28, p=.02 for neoadjuvant and HR 1.23, p<.0001 for adjuvant). Extended lymphadenectomy was associated with decreased 5-year mortality (HR 0.82 for ≥10 lymph nodes examined vs. 0-9, p<.0001). Downstaging was not associated with survival (HR 0.88, p=0.17). Conclusions: This study is the largest to date to analyze stage discrepancy and survival in BC patients treated with RC. Upstaging is common and is associated with decreased 5-year survival. These data can be used in pre-operative risk stratification, treatment decision making and comparison with studies of non-operative management. [Table: see text]

312 Background: Radical cystectomy (RC) is a preferred option for high−grade non−muscle invasive bladder cancer (HG NMIBC), particularly after failure of intravesical therapy. However, clinicians may be reluctant to offer surgery to older patients with NMIBC given concerns regarding morbidity. We therefore sought to evaluate the association of age with use of RC and clinicopathologic outcomes after RC for HG NMIBC. Methods: The National Cancer Data Base was queried to identify patients diagnosed with HG NMIBC between 2004−2013. Patients were stratified according to age at diagnosis: <60, 61−70, 71−80, >80 years. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to assess the associations of age group with utilization of RC and with pathologic upstaging (pT2−4 or pN+). Overall survival (OS) was evaluated using unadjusted and inverse propensity score weighted (IPTW) Kaplan−Meier methods and compared with the log-rank test. Results: RC was performed in 3,641 (5.7%) of 63,402 patients with HG NMIBC. Utilization of RC remained relatively constant over the study period (4.3%−6.8%; p=0.44). On multivariable analysis, increasing age was inversely associated with RC utilization, with the lowest utilization in those >80 (2.1% rate; OR 0.24; p<0.01). Similar associations of age with RC were observed at high volume centers (> 15 cases/year), academic centers, and for patients with cT1 disease. Among patients who underwent RC, pathologic upstaging was identified in 1,445 (43.6%), and no significant association was noted with age. NMIBC pathologic tumor stage was associated with improved OS compared to progression to pT2−4 or N+ disease at RC for all age groups: median OS improvement not reached in those under 60; 32 months in those 61−70; 55 months in those 71−80; and 34 months in those over 80 (all p<0.01). Similar improvements in survival were noted after IPTW. Conclusions: Older patients are significantly less likely to receive RC for HG NMIBC, despite a similar risk of upstaging and an improved survival when pathologic NMIBC is found at RC. These data support the use of RC for HG NMIBC in well selected patients across age strata.
