Randomized control trials have shown superior outcomes to patients who receive concurrent chemotherapy compared to radiation monotherapy. However, there are limited data to guide selection of the optimal radio-sensitizing regimen. METHODS: Canadian academic centres contributed to a retrospective cohort of muscle invasive (cT2-4N0-2) bladder cancer patients treated with curative-intent radiotherapy, with or without concurrent chemotherapy. Patients were stratified and analyzed by radio-sensitizing chemotherapy regimen. Outcomes were metastasis-free, cancer-specific, and overall survival (MFS, CSS, and OS). RESULTS: Of 656 patients, 268 (41%) were treated with radiation monotherapy, 174 (27%) with cisplatin, 108 (16%) with gemcitabine, 74 (11%) with 5FU-MMC, and 32 (5%) with carboplatin. The median follow-up was 24 months (95% CI: 21–27). In the entire cohort, the median MFS was 35 months (95% CI: 29–44), median CSS not reached (95% CI: 94–not reached) and median OS 52 months (95% CI 42–60). Disease characteristics were similar between groups, but patients who received radio-sensitizing chemotherapy were younger and had fewer comorbidities. Compared to no chemotherapy, concurrent cisplatin was associated with improved MFS (HR 0.46; 95% CI: 0.35-0.60), CSS (HR 0.44; 95% CI: 0.31-0.64) and OS (HR 0.33; 95% CI: 0.24-0.43). Concurrent 5FU-MMC was also associated with improved MFS (HR 0.60; 95% CI: 0.40-0.88), CSS (HR 0.32; 95% CI: 0.16-0.66), and OS (HR 0.45; 95% CI: 0.28-0.71). Concurrent gemcitabine was associated with improved MFS (HR 0.77; 95% CI 0.58-1.02), CCS (0.76; 95% CI 0.49-1.27), and OS (HR 0.76; 95% CI 0.57-1.02). Concurrent carboplatin was associated with improved MFS (HR 0.55; 95% CI: 0.33-0.92), CSS (HR 0.64; 0.43-1.27), and OS (HR 0.52; 95% CI: 0.30-0.89). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with MIBC treated with RT have better oncologic outcomes with all forms of radio-sensitizing chemotherapy. While the best outcomes are associated with cisplatin, other radiosensitizers seem to be effective for platinum-ineligible patients.
