Résumé

Objectives To compare the outcomes of bladder preservation therapy with early or deferred radical cystectomy (RC) in high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Methods Prospectively collected data were obtained for patients undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) at a tertiary care center between 2007 and 2018. Patients with a high-grade tumor (HGT1) were divided into three groups, depending on the treatment plan: conservative (GI), early RC (GII), or deferred RC (GIII). Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to assess the cancer-specific survival (CSS). Results Seventy-one patients were included, and the patients had a median (range) age of 49 (32-72) years. The GI, GII, and GIII groups included 34 (47.9%), 14 (19.7%), and 23 (32.4%) patients, respectively. A significantly lower number of GII patients underwent >2 TURBTs (14.3% vs. 100%, p<0.001). Compared to GIII patients, GII patients had a shorter time to RC from the initial diagnosis (5.7 vs. 36.2 months, p=0.03). Ileal conduit and orthotropic bladder diversions were comparable between both groups, with significantly higher postoperative complications in GIII patients. The median (IQR) follow-up times for the groups were 84 (49-102), 82 (52-112), and 73 (36-89) months, respectively. The five-year and 10-year CSS for GII and GIII patients was 79% vs. 75% and 78% vs. 64%, respectively (log rank=0.19). Conclusion Early RC should be considered an alternative treatment option in selected patients with HGT1 BC with expected longer life expectancy, which may significantly decrease postoperative complications and improve the CSS. However, selection bias in the current retrospective study may influence these outcomes.
