EVALUATION OUTCOMES OF NEOADJUVANT GEMCITABINE-CISPLATIN REGIMEN AND CURATIVE SURGERY IN MUSCLE-INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate treatment outcomes and associated prognostic factors with survival in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who received neoadjuvant with gemcitabine–cisplatin regimen followed by radical cystectomy at K Hospital. Subjects and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 61 patients with MIBC (T2–T4aNxM0) treated at K Hospital from 8/2017-8/2021. Results: The overall response rate after chemotherapy was 81,7%. Pathological complete response after surgery was 25% of cases. The mean overall survival (OS) was 75.8 ± 4.1 months; 3-, 5-, and 7-year OS rates were 84.4%, 76.7%, and 65.9%, respectively. The mean disease-free survival (DFS) was 65.9 ± 4.6 months; 3-, 5-, and 7-year DFS rates were 75.5%, 63.9%, and 60.7%, respectively. Both clinical response after chemotherapy and pathological response after surgery were significantly associated with OS and DFS (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Neoadjuvant gemcitabine–cisplatin combined with radical cystectomy achieved high response rates and improved both DFS and OS in patients with MIBC. Clinical and pathological responses were identified as strong prognostic factors for survival outcomes.
