Popis: In this study, we investigated the novel bladder preservation therapy, the balloon-occluded arterial infusion (BOAI) of cisplatin/gemcitabine, concomitantly with hemodialysis, along with concurrent irradiation [the 'Osaka Medical College (OMC)-regimen'] in patients >70 years of age with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Eighty-three such patients were assigned to receive either the OMC-regimen (n=56) or cystectomy (n=27). The OMC-regimen patients who failed to achieve complete response (CR) underwent cystectomy, or secondary BOAI with gemcitabine (1600 mg). The OMC-regimen, which delivers an extremely high concentration of anti-cancer agent to the tumor site without systemic adverse effects, yielded CR in >90% (39/43) of patients with locally invasive tumors [70% (39/56) of all patients including those with T4 and N+ disease]. None of the CR patients showed recurrence after a mean follow-up of 162 (range, 35-683) weeks, and 2 patients died of unrelated causes. The 5- and 12-year overall survival rates were 92.7 and 69.5% (vs. 59.6 and 20.9% for cystectomy; P
