Abstract Background Most patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) developed metastasis within 2 years, even after radical cystectomy (RC). The recurrence rate of MIBC was more than 50% of the cases. A meta-analysis conducted by Yin et al. showed that neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) + RC improves overall survival in MIBC compared with RC only. However, a new meta-analysis by Li et al. concluded that NAC + RC was not superior to RC only in improving overall survival. The inconsistencies of these studies required further comprehensive analysis to recommend NAC use in bladder cancer treatment. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to analyze previous studies that compare the efficacy of NAC + RC versus RC only to improve overall survival of MIBC. Methods The articles were searched using Pubmed with keywords “muscle-invasive bladder cancer”, “neoadjuvant chemotherapy”, “cystectomy”, and “overall survival”. The articles that were published until June 2020 were screened. The overall survival outcome was analyzed as hazard ratio (HR) and presented in a forest plot. Result Seventeen studies were included in meta-analysis with a total sample of 13,391 patients, consist of 2890 received NAC followed by RC and 10,418 underwent RC only. Two studies used methotrexate/vinblastine/doxorubicin/cisplatin (MVAC), two studies used gemcitabine/cisplatin (GC), one study used Cisplatin-based regimen, one study used MVAC or GC, one study used gemcitabine/carboplatin (GCarbo) or GC or MVAC, one study used Cisplatin/Gemcitabine or MVAC, one study used Cisplatin only, one study used Cisplatin-based (GC, MVAC) or non-Cisplatin-based (combined paclitaxel/gemcitabine/carboplatin), one study used GC, MVAC, Carboplatin, or Gemcitabine/Nedaplatin (GN), and five studies did not mention the regimen The overall survival in the NAC + RC only group was significantly better than the RC only group (HR 0.82 [0.71–0.95], p = 0.009). Conclusion NAC + RC is recommended to improve overall survival in MIBC patients. A further study assessing side effects and quality of life regarding NAC + RC is needed to establish a strong recommendation regarding this therapy.

Abstract Background The recommended treatment for patients with non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and radical cystectomy (RC). Following NAC, 20–40% of patients experience a complete pathological response (pCR) in the RC specimen and these patients have excellent long-term overall survival. Subject to debate is, however, whether patients with a pCR to NAC benefit from RC, which is a major surgical procedure with substantial morbidity, and if these patients might be candidates for close surveillance instead. However, currently it is not possible to accurately identify patients with a pCR to NAC in whom RC might be withheld. The objective of this study is to assess whether pathological response in the RC specimen after NAC can be predicted based on clinical, radiological, and histological variables and on a wide set of molecular biomarkers assessed in tissue, blood and urine. Methods This is a multicentre, prospective cohort study, including patients with cT2a-T4a N0-N1 M0 urothelial cell MIBC who are scheduled to undergo cisplatin-based NAC followed by RC. Prior to start of therapy, a 2-Deoxy-2-[18F] fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is performed. Response to NAC is evaluated by CT-scan. Blood and urine, including cytology, are prospectively collected for biomarker analyses before and after NAC. Immediately before RC, participants undergo cystoscopy with bimanual examination and a re-staging transurethral resection (TUR) of all visible cancerous lesions or with biopsies from scar tissue. Subsequently, RC is performed in all patients. Tissue from the diagnostic TUR, the re-staging TUR, and the RC specimen is examined for the presence of urothelial cancer carcinoma and DNA and RNA is isolated for molecular analysis. The primary endpoint is the pathological stage (ypTN) in the RC and ePLND specimen and its association with clinical response. Discussion If the PRE-PREVENCYS trial shows that the absence of residual disease after NAC in patients with MIBC is accurately predicted, a randomized controlled trial is scheduled comparing the overall survival of NAC plus RC versus NAC followed by close surveillance for patients with a clinically complete response (PREVENCYS trial).

258 Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an option for treating muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), and is reported to increase survival for patients who obtain a complete response with no residual disease at the time of radical cystectomy (RC). However, NAC has additional costs and side effects. We seek to compare the effectiveness of NAC and RC for MIBC and to report the increase in cost and change in quality adjusted life years (QALYs) for patients who receive NAC. Methods: Patients were retrospectively reviewed from 2004 to 2011 to identify those with MIBC (stage T2 to T4a) who were treated with either RC alone or NAC. Costs for hospital admissions and surgical procedures were estimated from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) using specific Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) or ICD-9-CM identifiers. Costs for outpatient procedures and urology visits were obtained from internal billing departments, and costs for chemotherapy were estimated based on published literature. QALYs were calculated based on clinical events and standard utility weights obtained from the medical literature. Results: 186 patients were identified, of which 64% received RC alone and 36% received NAC. Overall median survival for the RC group and the NAC group was 26.6 months and 38.3 months, respectively (p=0.056). Overall median survival in QALYs for the RC group and NAC group was 21.9 months and 32.9 months, respectively (p=0.057). 5-year overall survival in QALYs was 21.8% for the RC group and 39.8% for the NAC group (p=0.039). The mean total cost of treatment during follow-up for the RC and NAC groups was $42,890 and $52,336, respectively. The absolute increase in cost of therapy for patients receiving NAC compared to RC alone was $9,712. The increased cost per additional QALY gained for patients receiving NAC was $10,317. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy results in an increased overall survival for patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. This treatment is associated with an increased cost of approximately $10,000/QALY gained. This cost effectiveness compares favorably with other cancer therapies.

375 Background: Efficacy of cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical cystectomy (RC) for T2-4aN1M0 muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) was proved by randomize controlled trials. Recent retrospective studies suggested that MIBC patients who had a history of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) had lower pathologic complete response and worse overall survival rate to NAC and RC. This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes between MIBC that progressed from NMIBC (secondary MIBC) and primary MIBC. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with urothelial carcinoma (cT2-4aN0-1M0) who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy from January 2011 and December 2017 in Asan Medical Center was conducted. Clinicopathologic outcomes were compared between 187 patients with primary MIBC and 38 patients with secondary MIBC. Results: Baseline characteristics are well balanced between the groups. Downstaging rate ( < ypT2 and no N upstaging) are 46.7% for secondary MIBC group, 55.6% for primary MIBC group (p = 0.390), and positive pathologic metastatic nodes (ypN1+) are observed in 23.3% for secondary MIBC group, 18.3% for primary MIBC group (p = 0.523). There were no differences in overall survival (OS) (3 year OS 69.3% for secondary MIBC, 70.3% for primary MIBC, p = 0.420), disease-free survival (DFS) (3 year DFS 57.7% vs 56.6%, p = 0.880) between the groups. History of NMIBC is not independent prognostic factor for OS on multivariable analysis. Conclusions: Patients with secondary MIBC treated with NAC showed no differences in NAC response, pathologic downstaging rate, OS, DFS compared to patients with primary MIBC. Prospective or larger cohort study are required in the future. Genomic analysis is ongoing to identify genetic differences between two groups.
