Learning objectives
To describe the past and current evidence supporting chemoradiation as a bladdersparing approach and how to incorporate molecular biomarkers and therapies
Overview
Evidence base for bladder preservation as alternative to surgery Chemoradiotherapy compared to radiotherapy alone Biomarker data
Background
Bladder cancer outcomes have not significantly improved for 30 years
Treatment needs to address local control and distant metastases Local control
Surgery or RT
Metastases
Systemic therapy

Choice of treatment
Surgery and radiotherapy data relate to different segments of the population Neoadjuvant therapy data also mainly relate to younger patients Hence age/fitness is important factor in treatment decisions

MRE11 hypothesis
1. Low tumor expression of DNA DSB signaling proteins would be associated with better outcome following radical radiotherapy in bladder cancer due to decreased DNA repair 2. Would not expect it to be related to outcome following surgery, as not mediated via DNA damage mechanisms
MRE11 hypothesis
Choudhury A, Nelson LD, Teo MT, et al. MRE11 expression is predictive of cause-specific survival following radical radiotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Cancer Res 2010;70:7017-26
Conclusions
No convincing evidence surgery superior to primary bladder preservation with salvage surgery Neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves overall survival Synchronous chemo-radiation is safe and improves pelvic control and hence is complementary to neoadjuvant treatment Markers are emerging which now need prospective evaluation
