Sequential Chemotherapy Followed by Ultrahypofractionated Radiotherapy for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer
Sequential Chemotherapy Followed by Ultrahypofractionated Radiotherapy for Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer in Older Adults: Clinical Outcomes and Treatment-Related Toxicity
Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a potentially lethal disease for which radical cystectomy with appropriate systemic therapy remains a standard curative approach in medically fit patients. . However, Half of bladder cancer cases are diagnosed in patients aged over 75 years, many of whom are not fit for major surgery owing to their performance status and comorbidities .
A substantial proportion of bladder cancer cases occur in older adults (there is no single universal age cutoff for the term older adults, but several commonly used definitions exist: WHO: generally refers to people aged 60 years or older, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, while in clinical and research settings: ≥65 years is frequently used as the operational definition of older adults, especially in oncology and geriatric medicine), and advanced age is frequently accompanied by comorbidities and frailty that may limit eligibility for radical surgery or multimodality treatment . Bladder-preserving treatment incorporating maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and definitive radiotherapy is therefore an important treatment option in selected patients.

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a potentially lethal disease for which radical cystectomy with appropriate systemic therapy remains a standard curative approach in medically fit patients. However, Half of bladder cancer cases are diagnosed in patients aged over 75 years, many of whom are not fit for major surgery owing to their performance status and comorbidities .
A substantial proportion of bladder cancer cases occur in older adults (there is no single universal age cutoff for the term older adults, but several commonly used definitions exist: WHO: generally refers to people aged 60 years or older, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, while in clinical and research settings: ≥65 years is frequently used as the operational definition of older adults, especially in oncology and geriatric medicine), and advanced age is frequently accompanied by comorbidities and frailty that may limit eligibility for radical surgery or multimodality treatment. Bladder-preserving treatment incorporating maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and definitive radiotherapy is therefore an important treatment option in selected patients.
Most established bladder-preservation protocols use concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Nevertheless, sequential treatment-systemic chemotherapy followed by definitive radiotherapy-may be attractive in selected patients . Published data support bladder-preserving radiotherapy in older adults, although the literature is heterogeneous and most contemporary series evaluate concurrent rather than purely sequential treatment . In Older adults, concurrent chemoradiotherapy has been associated with improved survival, while hypofractionated bladder radiotherapy schedules have demonstrated acceptable tolerability in selected older populations .
These observations provide the rationale for prospectively evaluating a sequential approach in patients who are not ideal candidates for concurrent chemoradiotherapy. A number of small single-centre studies using the higher biological dose of 30-36 Gy in 6 Gy per fraction suggest acceptable acute and late toxicity with local control achieved in over of 60% patients at 3 months . Prospective multicentre assessment of this radiotherapy schedule has not yet been performed. The proposed study will evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, treatment completion, and toxicity of a sequential strategy in older adults with non-metastatic MIBC.

실험적: Older adults with muscle invasive bladder cancer
Patients aged ≥65 years with histologically confirmed muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder with non-metastatic disease and with PS 0-3, who are medically unfit or unsuitable for radical cystectomy or radical conventional RT, will be treated with sequential chemotherapy followed by ultrahypofractionated radiotherapy will be considered for enrollment. |
All patients should undergo maximal safe TURBT before systemic treatment. The objective is maximal tumor debulking while preserving bladder function and obtaining adequate tissue for pathological diagnosis and staging. A second-look TURBT may be considered, especially when the initial resection was incomplete (tumors ≥3 cm, no evaluation of muscle involvement in spite of radiological evidence). Systemic chemotherapy will be administered before radiotherapy. The preferred regimen should be selected according to renal function, performance status, comorbidities, and multidisciplinary assessment. Suggested protocol options:
Radiotherapy should commence after adequate recovery from chemotherapy, provided there is no evidence of progression and the patient remains suitable for local treatment. A practical interval is approximately 3-6 weeks after the final chemotherapy cycle. Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy planning is recommended using three or four fields; however, use of static 5-7-field IMRT or volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy treatment is permitted. Three-dimensional dose distributions will be produced for the overall prescribed dose of 36 Gy in six fractions. The dose distribution will be assessed for coverage of the PTV and normal tissues sparing using appropriate transverse sagittal and coronal views. All plans will be created to ensure that at least 98% of the PTV (PTV D98%) receives >90% (ideally >95%) of the prescribed dose, the median PTV dose (PTV D50%) is within 1% of the prescription dose and the near maximum (PTV D2%) is <107% (ideally <105%) of the prescribed dose. To minimize unexpected high dose outside the PTV, it is required that 1 cm3 of normal tissue outside the PTV should be <110% of the prescribed dose. |
