摘要
455 Background: We started in 2008 a Multidisciplinary Bladder Cancer Clinic (MDBCC), where complex bladder cancer patients are assessed concurrently by urologic and radiation oncologists, with support from medical oncologists. Patients have the opportunity to discuss various treatment options including radical cystectomy (RC) or bladder sparing trimodal therapy (TMT; endoscopic resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy). Although reports have shown comparable outcomes of TMT to cystectomy, no direct comparison to RC has been published and no randomized studies are available. We report our long term outcomes of multidisciplinary care, comparing TMT to surgery using propensity-matched analyses. Methods: Patients seen in our MDBCC receiving TMT for MIBC from 2008 to 2012 were identified and matched, using propensity scores, to patients operated by RC. Matching occurred on age, ECOG status, Charlson comorbidity score, cT stage, cN stage and date of treatment. Overall survival (OS) and disease-specific surviva...
