HOW WE COME ACROSS THE PATIENT?
1. Patient undergoes TURBT for bladder growth, report shows muscle invasion.
2. Patient undergoes ReTURBT with no evidence on muscle invasion in the first biopsy,
repeat biopsy shows evidence of muscle invasion.
3. Patient comes with a large bladder mass, with obvious radiographic evidence of
muscle invasion in the form of perivesical fat stranding, extravesical mass, infiltration
into nearby structures.
4. Patient is a known case of TCC bladder, underwent TURBT and is on regular
cystoscopic followup. During a followup cystoscopy, a growth was found, and the
biopsy shows evidence of muscle invasion.

CLINICAL STAGING
1. Transurethral resection specimen
2. Bimanual examination of the patient under anaesthesia
3. Liver function tests
4. Chest radiography
5. Contrast enhanced cross sectional imaging
20

BIMANUAL EXAMINATION UNDER ANAESTHESIA
Place dominant hand on the suprapubic region and one or two fingers of the non
dominant hand in the rectum (in males) and vagina (in females).
Done before and after resection.
Finding (Marshall)
T2a – Non palpable
T2b- Induration but no three dimensional mass
T3a- Three dimensional mobile mass
T4a- Invading adjacent structures
T4b- Fixed to pelvic sidewall and not mobile
21

Do CECT abdomen and
pelvis in all cases
before TURBT???
NO
22

Biopsy shows muscle
invasion now…
What next?
OK, NOT
DONE
BUT…
23

Do contrast study 7 days after TURBT.
To avoid overstaging as T3.

PELVIC LYMPHADENECTOMY
1. Standard template pelvic lymphadenectomy
2. Extended pelvic lymphadenectomy
3. Dissection upto inferior mesenteric artery origin
33

STANDARD TEMPLATE PELVIC LYMPHADENECTOMY
Laterally – Genitofemoral nerve
Medially – Internal iliac artery
Superiorly- Point at which the ureter
crosses the common iliac artery
Inferiorly- Cooper’s ligament
34

EXTENDED PELVIC LYMPHADENECTOMY
Extension to include Common iliac nodes
and presacral packet.
Further extension to include preaortic
packet to the level of inferior mesenteric
artery have also been studied.
No benefit beyond resecting common
iliac nodes was observed.
35

INTRA OPERATIVE
DECISION
MAKING
36

DON’T PERFORM CYSTECTOMY, WHEN..
1. Unresectable bulky lymphnode metastasis
2. Extensive periureteral disease
3. Bladder fixed to pelvic side wall
4. Tumour is invading rectosigmoid colon.
37

NEGATIVE URETERIC MARGIN?
Intra operative frozen analysis remains controversial.
12.7 % - Positive margin rate.
Ureter margin status- independent predictor of upper tract recurrence after
cystectomy.
Hence, attempt to clear the distal ureter of tumour when feasible at the time of
radical cystectomy.
38

URETHRECTOMY IN MEN, IF..
Do transurethral prostatic biopsy before cystectomy,
Consider urethrectomy, if..
Diffuse CIS of the prostatic urethra or ducts is present.
Prostatic stromal invasion is present.
39

CHEMOTHERAPY
40

GHONEIM ET AL 2008
50 % of patients treated with radical
cystectomy alone progress to metastatic
disease.
Surgery alone is not sufficient in large
number of patients with invasive bladder
cancer.
41

STEIN ET AL 2001
42

NEO ADJUVANT CHEMO - ADVANTAGES
1. Chemotherapy is delivered at the earliest time point, when the burden of
micrometastatic disease is expected to be low;
2. in vivo chemo-sensitivity is tested; and
3. tolerability of chemotherapy is expected to be better before than after
cystectomy
43

NEO ADJUVANT CHEMO - DISADVANTAGES
1. Errors in staging may lead to overtreatment
2. delayed cystectomy, compromising outcome in patients not sensitive to
chemotherapy and
3. side effects of chemotherapy affecting the outcome of surgery and type of urinary
diversion

STATISTICIANS

MAGICIANS??

BASED ON THIS…
NCCN guidelines recommend clinicians:
- strongly consider neoadjuvant cisplatin based chemotherapy for cT2N0M0 patients
- recommends neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy for cT3-T4aN0M0 patients.
EAU guidelines recommend:
- neoadjuvant chemotherapy for T2-T4aN0M0 patients and also note that it should
always be a cisplatinum-based combination regimen

ABC META-ANALYSIS FOR ADJUVANT THERAPY
52

GUIDELINES FOR ADJUVANT THERAPY
NCCN - Consider adjuvant chemotherapy in pT3-4 or node positive disease setting.
EAU- Use within clinical trials, not as a routine therapeutic option.
53

ADJUVANT CHEMORADIATION
20% - 40% of pT3 and pT4 patients have pelvic failures at 5 years.
Perioperative chemotherapy does not significantly improve the risk.
After pelvic failure, median survival is just 9 months.
Hence, radiation therapy was tried to reduce pelvic failure risk in pT3-4 lesions with
negative margins.
54

ZAGHLOUL ET AL 2017- SANDWICH CHEMORADIO

ZAGHLOUL ET AL 2017-SANDWICH CHEMORADIO
56

WHEN ADJUVANT RADIATION?
Substantially increase risk of postoperative small bowel obstruction.
Should be cautiously used.
Strongest case: Positive surgical margins noted after radical cystectomy.
Ongoing studies in:
pT3-4
Less than 10 nodes identified
N+ disease.
57

Percentage of pT0 in cystectomy specimens
of MIBC cancers.
In other words, all cancer tissue was
removed in the TURBT itself.

58

BLADDER PRESERVATION IN MIBC
High incidence of perioperative complications
Classically older population with multiple medical comorbidities
Goal: Curative with functionally intact bladder.
Multimodality therapy:
1. Radical TUR
2. Chemotherapy
3. Systemic radiotherapy
59

ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES
1. Refusing for cystectomy
2. Medically unfit for cystectomy
3. Highly selected medically fit patients
60

AVOID BLADDER PRESERVATION IN…
1. Hydronephrosis
2. Obvious T3 disease on imaging
3. Presence of CIS
4. Multifocal tumours and / or
5. Incomplete macroscopic tumor resection
61

MEDICALLY FIT PATIENT SELECTION CRITERIA
1. Limited burden of disease (< 4 cm in maximal dimension, unifocal, not cT3b)
2. No hydronephrosis
3. Can be grossly resectable by TUR
4. Adequate bladder function
5. No CIS
6. Highly motivated patient
