lüll Comprehensive surgical and chemotherapy treatment for invasive bladder cancer Sanchez-Salas R; Duque Ruiz GI; Watson J; Rocha E; Barret E; Cathelineau X; Rozet F; Galiano M; Vallancien GActas Urol Esp 2009[Nov]; 33 (10): 1062-8INTRODUCTION: The treatment of transitional cell bladder cancer with muscular invasion remains difficult, due to the numerous patterns of biological behaviour of the disease. There is controversy regarding the application of systemic therapy in invasive bladder carcinoma and the ideal time for the indication of perioperative chemotherapy. This is an overview of systemic therapy in invasive bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using MEDLINE, we reviewed relevant English and Spanish literature published during the last five years, with "chemotherapy in bladder cancer" as keywords. We selected randomised trials, meta-analyses and clinical trials. RESULTS: We obtained 241 articles, 31 of which referred to neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy in invasive bladder cancer. We classified the articles into three different groups: neoadjuvant, adjuvant and neoadjuvant plus chemotherapy. This information is shown in the tables within the text. CONCLUSIONS: A multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of invasive bladder cancer is essential to guarantee adequate oncological control. Detailed evaluation and proper selection of each patient is fundamental in determining the best moment to start chemotherapy.|Carcinoma, Transitional Cell/*drug therapy/pathology/*surgery[MESH]|Chemotherapy, Adjuvant[MESH]|Combined Modality Therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neoadjuvant Therapy[MESH]|Neoplasm Invasiveness[MESH]|Urinary Bladder Neoplasms/*drug therapy/pathology/*surgery[MESH] |
