Abstract Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before radical cystectomy is advocated in patients with muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder with the goal to improve survival by downstaging the primary tumour and eradicating micro-metastasis. The use of perioperative chemotherapy for bladder cancer, particularly in the neoadjuvant setting, remains limited. This study was designed to evaluate NAC plus RC regarding pathological response, perioperative morbidity and mortality outcomes.

Methods: This is a prospective and retro prospective study that was carried out from Jan 2018 to Jan 2020 for patients with muscle invasive bladder carcinoma. All patients having operable muscle invasive bladder carcinoma, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0–1 were included. Patients found to have metastatic disease, recurrent disease, patient not able to tolerate NAC were excluded from the study.

Results: Early complications occurred within 30 days after surgery & pathological response rates, perioperative morbidity, and mortality were compared.

Conclusions: A short course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was associated to a low incidence of serious adverse events and did not increase the post-operative morbidity. Results suggest that non-urothelial tumour showed no response to Platinum based combination chemotherapeutic regimens. After NAC, residual local disease, persistent nodal disease and status of surgical margins are the most powerful prognostic factors for patients who underwent RC.
