Radical Cystectomy As Early Primary Therapy for T1G3 Bladder Cancer Karim Touijer and Bernard H. Bochner. Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
T1G3 Bladder Cancer“THE FACTS” • Is a potentially lethal tumor • This is NOT a superficial tumor • Understaging occurs frequently • High recurrence rate and progression despite intravesical therapy • Poor markers available to accurately identify high risk lesions • Can be effectively CURED by early definitive surgery (radical cystectomy)

T1G3 Bladder CancerCan we accurately detect this disease?Are we at risk for understaging?
T1G3 And TIS Bladder CancerClinical Understaging 10 - 15% have positive nodes at cystectomy
Risk Of Understaging Is Influenced By Presence Of Muscle In TUR Specimen N=78 Dutta, J Urol 166:490, 2001 Herr, HW J Urol 162:74, 1999 A second TURBT required to identify extent of disease.
T1G3 Bladder CancerOutcome Of Understaged PatientsDisease Specific Outcomes • 179 patients (71% with T1 tumors) • 53% failed intravesical therapy • Understaged lesions do significantly worse • Understaged lesions WILL NOT respond to bladder sparing approaches Freeman et al, Cancer, 1995
Repeat TURBT May Help Reduce Understaging Dalbagni et al, UROLOGY 2002
T1G3 Bladder CancerNatural HistoryRecurrence and Progression Risk • Recurrence Risk • Following TURBT, 69-80% risk of recurrence • Intravesical immunotherapy can delay recurrence and progression, but long-term will not alter natural history • Progression Risk • 33-50% will progress to muscle invasion

T1 Bladder CancerCharacteristics Associated with Recurrence and Progression • Pathologic • High grade, multifocality, associated CIS, prostatic urethral involvement, size, sessile growth pattern, (Others unreliable and controversial: aneuplody, p53 alteration, lymphovascular invasion) • Clinical • Failure of intravesical therapy (80% with disease at 3 months progress), endoscopically uncontrollable disease, disease within diverticuli MAJORITY
