Intervention  chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery  20 patients were planned to be enrolled in this study from april 2014-October 2015. All patients were treated with 3cycles of Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with Inj. Gemcitabine 1.2gm/m2 on day 1 and day 15, Inj. Cisplatin 70mg/m2 on day 1 only .Chemotherapy was given with adequate hydration, and antiemitic prophylaxis in all patients, on day 1 and day15, 4weekly, for a total of3cycles. After 3cycles of chemotherapy, the patients were underwent radiological response assessment with RECIST criteria, by CECT chest, abdomen, pelvis and Cystoscopic assessment. Patients who had radiological Partial response (50%) underwent. Radical Radiotherapy 62Gy in 31 fractions with or without Concurrent chemotherapy with weekly Cisplatin. Patients who had Radiological Partial response (50%) patients or no response patients were treated by Radical Cystectomy followed by postoperative Radiation to a dose of 50Gy in 25fractions.

Brief Summary  

Conservative approaches in muscle invasive bladder carcinoma (MIBC) evolved recently with the aim of avoiding surgery which may have a negative impact on the quality of life. The non-surgical treatment has been traditionally reserved for patients who are unfit for, or refuse radical cystectomy. But there is growing evidence that, availability of new chemotherapeutic protocols and radiotherapy  techniques  have made bladder  preservation a competitive alternative to cystectomy in selected patients.

A total 20 patients with urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder of stage T2-T4, N0- N1, M0   (AJCC 2010) who were fit for combined radiochemotherapy and refused radical surgery were selected and enrolled. All patients were treated with three cycles of NACT.

 After NACT, 18 patients (90%) who had partial response (PR) >50% , received radical radiation, and two patients (10%) who had PR <50%, underwent radical cystectomy. All patients who received radiation showed complete response, six weeks after RT. After median follow up of 26 months, 2 patients developed local recurrence, underwent salvage cystectomy. One patient developed local and distant failure. Hematologic and non hematologic toxicities were acceptable.

Conservative treatment in MIBC patients with NACT followed by RT provides a high probability of local response with acceptable toxicity in properly selected patients. Our trial shows that organ preservation is a valid option in early stages of MIBC
