Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Muscle invasive bladder cancer is a clinically aggressive disease even when treated surgically with a radical cystectomy and lymph node dissection in experienced hands. The incidence of disease recurrence is now linked to the possibility of micro-metastatic disease being present at the time of diagnosis. To help improve patient clinical and oncological outcome, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is now advocated. In our review we present the developing role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Current Urology Karger

Abstract

Muscle invasive bladder cancer is a clinically aggressive disease even when treated surgically with a radical cystectomy and lymph node dissection in experienced hands. The incidence of disease recurrence is now linked to the possibility of micro-metastatic disease being present at the time of diagnosis. To help improve patient clinical and oncological outcome, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is now advocated. In our review we present the developing role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer.
