| | Cystectomy |
 | | MD Anderson Cancer Center retrospectively reviewed the post–radical cystectomy surveillance protocol for 382 patients and concluded that a stage-specific approach was most appropriate, meaning the higher the T-stage at diagnosis, the greater the risk of recurrence within 2 years. | | | Many patients with aggressive clinically superficial bladder cancer ultimately die of their cancer, due in part to resistance to undergo radical cystectomy. | | | While nodal spread clearly portends a poor prognosis, recent data from MSKCC suggest that a subset of patients with positive nodal disease can achieve long term (>10 years) survival when radical cystectomy is combined with a thorough pelvic lymph node dissection and adjuvant therapies. |

| | Therapy of Bladder Cancer - June 2001: 706431 |
| | With more experience and improvement of the surgical technique, laparoscopic radical cystectomy with continent urinary diversion may become an alternative surgical method for treating select patients with localized muscle invasive bladder cancer. | | | This technique was performed in 16 radical cystectomies, including three pelvic anterior exenterations for female invasive bladder carcinoma, and compared with 23 cases treated with the conventional method. | | | Most have shown that overall quality of life after cystectomy remains good for most patients, with the expected problems with urinary diversion and sexual dysfunction. |

| | Cystectomy For Men - Information about your operation (removal of the bladder) |
| | Your doctor has recommended a cystectomy as treatment for your condition. | | | When major surgery is carried out, such as a cystectomy operation, the nerves that supply the penis are affected. | | | This means that for some people their motions become looser after this type of surgery. |

| | Stage II Bladder Cancer |
| | There are essentially two ways to treat patients with stage II (T2) bladder cancer: primary surgical treatment consisting of radical cystectomy with some form of urinary diversion or combined modality treatment consisting of administration of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, followed by radical cystectomy only for those patients who do not achieve a complete response. | | | Bladder-preserving therapy is appealing because patients who achieve a complete response to treatment can often avoid additional treatment with a radical cystectomy unless they experience recurrence of their cancer. | | | In some clinical trials, approximately half or more of patients who were treated with bladder-preserving therapy (initial TUR of as much cancer as possible, plus chemotherapy and radiation therapy) survived cancer-free 3-4 years after treatment. |

| | Complications from earlier techniques affect 2% of patients with continent urinary diversion and 4.5% of patients with neoplasms. | | | Significant advances in surgical techniques, a better understanding of isolated bowel segment physiology, and improvements in preoperative and postoperative care have revolutionized the field of urinary reconstruction after cystectomy for bladder cancer. | | | Conclusions: Advances in surgical techniques, an understanding of the physiology of isolated bowel segments, and improvements in pre- and post-operative care have altered the field of urinary reconstruction after cystectomy for bladder cancer. |

| | The clinical outcome of radical cystectomy has improved remarkably over the past 20 years as a result of advances in operative technique and perioperative care. | | | Further research is necessary to define the indications, but at present, radical TURBT for muscle-invasive cancer appears to be appropriate for patients too ill to undergo radical cystectomy, those who decline the open operation, and those enrolled in clinical trials of this approach to bladder cancer. | | | These studies demonstrated a disease-free survival benefit of 17-50% within the first 3-5 years when applying adjuvant systemic chemotherapy after radical cystectomy. |

| | Bladder Sparing Debated at Chicago Shoot out |
| | Dr. Zietman concluded, “For clinically staged patients, the bladder-sparing approach gives survival similar to that of cystectomy because cystectomy is not delayed very long in patients who require it. | | | Patients who show no response undergo radical cystectomy and adjuvant therapy. | | | Bladder conservation has not been routinely accepted in the United States because radical cystectomy “is exceedingly effective in preventing late recurrence and the development of metastatic bladder cancer,” Dr. Skinner said. |

| | The therapeutic results of radical cystectomy are dependent on the clinical and pathological stage; most failures are due to distant metastasis. | | | Conclusion: While radical cystectomy with neobladders remains the preferred therapy for invasive bladder cancer, research into improved bladder preservation strategies, possibly using biomarkers to predict responsiveness to treatment, should continue. | | | It is our view that current bladder-sparing techniques are less effective than radical cystectomy for cancer control, and thus reserved for highly selected patients. |

| | Comparison of three types of continent urinary diversions in a single center |
| | Approximately 97% of patients undergoing radical cystectomy in our study preferred a continent type of diversion when it was possible, and patients believed they would have a better quality of life as a result. | | | Also, patient acceptance for radical cystectomy was made easier when there was a possibility of a continent type of diversion rather than an ileal loop. | | | One-third of patients in our study left the decision to the surgeon. |

| | eMedicine - Cystectomy, Partial : Article by Adrian H Feng, MD |
| | On the topic of surgical risk, some surgeons view partial cystectomy as being a less morbid operation than radical cystectomy because operating time is decreased, a urinary diversion with bowel manipulation is not necessary, and an extraperitoneal technique is possible in some cases. | | | In addition, because a separate urinary diversion procedure (as is necessary in radical cystectomy) is not performed, some surgeons view partial cystectomy as a less morbid operation, suited for high-risk patients and palliative situations. | | | In carefully selected patients, partial cystectomy seems to be the procedure of choice for muscle-invasive bladder cancer because its success rivals that of radical cystectomy. |

| | In the current study, partial cystectomy was applied only to the patients with clinical CR. | | | This may explain our favorable outcome because CR by the end of chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy has been demonstrated to be the most significant predictor of survival ( 11, 13). | | | Among 17 patients (46%) who achieved complete response (CR), 10 were not suitable for radical cystectomy and underwent partial cystectomy. |

| | Invasive Bladder Cancer |
| | An article which reviewed the latest literature comparing cystectomy with bladder-sparing techniques would seem to be implying that surgery remains the gold standard for giving the best chance at long term survival. | | | Continuous improvement in surgical techniques and post-operative care greatly reduced morbidity and late effects of surgery, including sexual dysfunction. | | | However, many alternative techniques to spare the bladder are being actively investigated. |

| | While at least one-third of the patients had severe haematologic or gastrointestinal effects, the investigators note that, "all patients recovered, and there were no treatment-related deaths." They add that M-VAC therapy had no adverse affect on the patients' surgery and did not increase the risk of surgery related complication or death. | | | At the 5-year follow up point, 43% in the cystectomy only group versus 57% of those who received the combination therapy were alive. | | | The intention-to-treat analysis shows a median survival of 46 months among the cystectomy only group compared with 77 months among the combination therapy group. |
