The clinical stage was T2, T3, and T4 in 13, 16, and 3 patients, respectively. We examined locally invasive bladder cancer in 32 patients (30 men, 2 women mean age at treatment 68.1 years) who underwent bladder-sparing protocols in the Department of Urology at Sumitomo Hospital between 20. We investigated the long-term results and molecular markers of outcome with selective organ preservation in invasive bladder cancer using chemoradiation therapy.

Five of them died of cancer and two patients were alive with cancer. Only 17 patients survived more than 5 years after treatment 78% of the survivors had good PS (0 or 1). Tumor grade was the most predictable prognostic factor using multivariate analysis. The prognostic factors of these patients were size and grade of tumor, presence of hydronephrosis and performance status (PS) of the patients by univariate analysis. The prognosis for the patients who underwent bladder preservation therapy was worse than that for the patients who underwent total cystectomy.

The therapeutic modalities of bladder preservation were mainly radiation or chemotherapy. The prognoses and prognostic factors of the 54 patients with locally invasive bladder cancer who underwent bladder preservation therapy at Yokohama City University Hospital between 19 were analyzed statistically.
