Purpose: Radical cystectomy (RC) with neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the most commonly recommended treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), yet RC with urinary diversion remains an invasive treatment. Although some patients with MIBC gain good cancer control with radiation therapy (RT), its effectiveness remains under discussion. Therefore, we aimed to reveal the effectiveness of RT compared with RC for MIBC. Methods and Materials: Using cancer registry and administrative data from 31 hospitals in our prefecture, we recruited patients with bladder cancer (BC) initially registered between January 2013 and December 2015. All patients received RC or RT, and none had metastases. Prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards model and log-rank test. Propensity score matching between the RC and RT groups was performed to examine the association of each factor with OS. Results: Among the patients with BC, 241 received RC and 92 received RT. Median ages of the patients receiving RC and RT were 71.0 and 76.5 years, respectively. Five-year OS rates were 44.8% for patients receiving RC and 27.6% for patients receiving RT (P < .001). Multivariate analysis for OS showed that older age, poorer functional disability, clinical node positive, and pathology of nonurothelial carcinoma were significantly associated with worse prognosis. A propensity score-matching model identified 77 patients with RC and 77 with RT. In this arranged cohort, there were no significant differences in OS between the RC and RT groups (P = .982). Conclusions: Prognostic analysis with matched characteristics showed that patients with BC receiving RT were not significantly different from those receiving RC. These findings could contribute to proper treatment strategies for MIBC. |
