Abstract:Objective: To investigate the oncologic and robotic-assisted operative effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) on muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Methods: In the Senior Urology Department of PLA General Hospital, we assembled the records of patients with MIBC over 18 and under 80 years of age diagnosed between 2010 and 2019. The patients with MIBC of clinical stage T2-4aN0-1M0 were enrolled in this study, and accepted the treatments of robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) + pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). The ileal conduit (Bricker) was used for urinary diversion.The patients were divided into NAC group and control group according to whether the patients received 4 cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GC) before operation. Propensity-score matching (PSM), Chi-square test, Kruskal-Wallis test and multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the clinical data. Results: A total of 30 patients with NAC + RARC + PLND were enrolled and 60 patients receiving RARC + PLND without NAC served as control group according to PSM 1∶2. The multiple regression analysis revealed neoadjuvant GC was an independent prognostic factor for undergoing RARC + PLND (HR = 0.35, 95% CI = 0.1-1.0,P = 0.042) in MIBC patients. Conclusion: The NAC can't increase rate of postoperative complication in the MIBC patients who were treated with RARC + PLND, and the neoadjuvant GC was a better treatment in locally advanced MIBC patients compared with operation alone. The application of neoadjuvant chemotherapy is worth recommending.
