294 Background: Combination chemotherapy is the standard of care for neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and metastatic bladder cancer due to increased efficacy when compared to monotherapy. We report our experience with sequential intravesical combination chemotherapy using gemcitabine and mitomycin C (MMC) for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Methods: We performed a multi-institutional retrospective review of 47 consecutive patients who received 6 weekly treatments with sequential gemcitabine (1g) and mitomycin C (40mg) chemotherapy for NMIBC. Thirty patients received treatment at University of Iowa, 14 at UCSF and 3 at University of Minnesota. Results: A total 47 patients (median age 70, range 32-85; 36 males, 11 females) previously failing a median of 2 intravesical treatments were reviewed. The complete response (CR), 1-year recurrence-free survival (1-RFS) and 2-year recurrence-free survival (2-RFS) for all patients was 68%, 48% and 38%, respectively. In all, 14 of 47 patients (30%) remain free of recurrence with a median time to followup of 26 months (range 6-80 months). The median time to recurrence for all patients who recurred was 4 months (range 1-33 months). Ten patients required cystectomy. Conclusions: Sequential intravesical combination chemotherapy using gemcitabine and MMC appears to be a useful treatment for patients with a history of NMIC which has failed BCG or other intravesical therapy, in addition to patients with intermediate and high-risk disease.

373 Background: The BC2001 trial in 2012 showed concurrent chemoradiotherapy to be the new standard of care for bladder preserving treatment of muscle invasive bladder cancer. Addition of concurrent MMC and infusional 5FU showed a relative risk reduction of 33% in locoregional recurrence (James ND, Hussain S, Hall E et al. Radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. N Engl J Med. 2012;366(16):1477–88.). This audit evaluates the experience across Kent in six hospitals adopting this protocol. Methods: 116 patients treated with radical radiotherapy for bladder cancer between January 2013 and December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. 64 patients received radiotherapy alone due to contraindications to chemotherapy, performance status and patient choice. 52 patients received concurrent chemotherapy, the majority with 5FU/MMC and a subset with oral Capecitabine in place of infusional 5FU. Kaplan Meier and Log-Rank analysis of overall survival, local recurrence free survival and metastasis free survival were performed using SPSS. Results: Local recurrence free survival in the chemoradiotherapy group was 73% (95% CI 59-87%) compared to the radiotherapy group 61% (45-77) (p=0.27). There was a trend for greater metastasis free survival at 2 years, 63% (47-79) in the chemoradiotherapy group compared to 52% (38-66) in the radiotherapy group (p=0.21). Similarly, overall 2 year survival was 74% (60-88) and 59% (43-75) respectively (p=0.21). Conclusions: Our results showed a trend towards improved local control, distant control and increased overall survival in patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy compared to radiotherapy alone. The differences did not meet statistical significance; however this was a small retrospective series with a relatively short median followup of 17.5 months. Treatment was well tolerated in our patient group. Overall, our data is in keeping with the results of the BC2001 trial (James ND, Hussain S, Hall E et al. Radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. N Engl J Med. 2012;366(16):1477–88.)

Improved Outcome

The role of the androgen receptor (AR) in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) remains controversial. We retrospectively analyzed the mRNA expression of AR using RT-qPCR in 95 patients with high-risk NMIBC treated with a bladder-sparing approach and correlated AR with clinical data and recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS). The mRNA expression of AR and KRT5, i.e., the basal-like subtype, was strongly correlated (rs = 0.456; p < 0.001). AR (p = 0.053) and KRT5 (p = 0.029) mRNA expression was negatively correlated with tumor grade. Kaplan–Meier analyses indicated significantly prolonged CSS (p = 0.020) and OS (p = 0.015) and a trend towards longer RFS (p = 0.051) in patients with high AR expression. High KRT5 expression was associated with significantly longer RFS (p = 0.033), CSS (p = 0.029) and OS (p = 0.030), while high KRT20 expression was associated with reduced RFS (p = 0.042). In multivariable analysis, none of the molecular markers was an independent prognostic factor. When performing a substratification with regard to molecular markers and clinicopathological parameters, high AR expression showed improved OS in patients with high KRT20 mRNA expression (p = 0.041). Women showed significantly longer OS in cases with high AR expression (p = 0.011). High AR was associated with significantly improved CSS in males (p = 0.044) and patients with instillation therapy (p = 0.040), while OS was improved regardless of instillation therapy. Younger patients with high AR expression had significantly improved RFS (p = 0.021), CSS (p = 0.014) and OS (p = 0.007). RFS was also improved in patients with high AR and low expression of either KRT5 (p = 0.003) or KRT20 (p = 0.014), but not in patients with high expression of KRT5 or KRT20. In conclusion, high AR mRNA expression is correlated with KRT5 mRNA expression and is associated with an improved outcome in high-risk NMIBC.

AbstractThere is evidence that a history of benign prostatic hyperplasia increases the incidence of bladder cancer, and treatment with 5-alpha reductase inhibitor or androgen deprivation therapy reduces recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. We aimed to evaluate whether prostate volume affects its prognosis. We reviewed medical records of men who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor due to non-muscle invasive bladder cancer from January 2012 to December 2017. Patients were divided into two groups based on prostate volume measured by computed tomography (group 1: 264 patients with ≤ 30 mL, group 2: 124 patients with > 30 mL). Propensity score matching analysis was used for adjust selection bias, and then assessed recurrence-free survival and progression-free survival. With a median follow up duration of 52 months, group 1 showed higher 5-year recurrence-free and progression-free survival (69.3% vs 47.0%, p = 0.001; 96.7% vs 87.7%, p = 0.002). Further, cox-regression analysis showed that tumor size (HR = 1.292 p < 0.001), multifocal tumor (HR = 1.993, p < 0.001), adjuvant intravesical therapy (chemotherapy: HR = 0.580, p = 0.037 and bacillus Calmette–Guérin: HR = 0.542, p = 0.004) and prostate volume (HR = 2.326, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of recurrence-free survival. Prostate volume (HR = 2.886, p = 0.014) was also associated with PFS with age (HR = 1.043, p = 0.044) and tumor grade (HR = 3.822, p = 0.013). We conclude higher prostate volume is associated with worse recurrence and progression-free survival in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
