Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
Globally bladder cancer is rank 7th and in India it rank 18th in cancer related deaths. There is an urgent need for research for treatment option in cisplatin ineligible advance stage bladder cancer specially in resource limited settings since immune therapy is financially not a viable option. The most frequent chemotherapy protocols used in cisplatin ineligible advanced stage bladder cancer are gemcitabine with carboplatin and gemcitabine with paclitaxel. However these two combinations were not compared in prospective randomized design. This study is a single center open label prospectively randomized study.  Total 60 patient who will be randomly and equally divided into two arm. One will be treated with  gemcitabine with  carboplatin and other with  gemcitabine with paclitaxel. The aim of study   is to find which one among the two chemotherapy drug protocol is  of optimal choice in terms of disease control and drug safety.
