15526 Background: Lymph node-positive bladder cancer is a systemic disease in the majority of patients. Prescribing adjuvant chemotherapy shortly after surgery, when tumor burden is low seems reasonable, yet there is no proof that this treatment strategy improves survival. In this retrospective study, we compared the outcomes of patients with microscopic lymph node positive bladder cancer (pN1 or pN2) treated with radical cystectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and those who declined chemotherapy. Methods: Sixty-seven patients with lymph node positive bladder cancer (pN1 in 26 patients and pN2 in 41) who underwent radical cystectomy between April 1995 and April 2005 were reviewed. Combined adjuvant chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin in most patients) was given to 35 patients (52%), but deferred by 32 (48%). The two groups were similar in performance status, postoperative complication rate and N stage but deferring patients were on average 4 years older and had a more advanced T stage. Results: Adjuvant chemotherapy was well tolerated with 28/35 patients (80%) completed all 4 cycles. Median overall survival of patients given adjuvant chemotherapy was 48 months compared to 8 months for deferring patients (hazard ratio 0.13, 95% CI 0.04–0.4, p<0.0001). Multivariate age adjusted analysis showed that adjuvant chemotherapy was an independent factor affecting overall survivals (hazard ratio 0.2, p<0.0001). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that chemotherapy provided survival benefit for patients with pN2 disease but not for patients with pN1 disease (p=0.0001 and p=0.235 respectively). Conclusions: This retrospective real-life study supports the use of adjuvant chemotherapy after radical cystectomy in patients with node positive bladder cancer, especially when more than one lymph node is involved. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Background: For long time the standard lymphadenectomy is the part of radical cystectomy surgery for treament invasive bladder cancer. Some new research show the good result of extended pelvic lymphadenectomy in improving postoperative survival. Purpose: Report techniques and results of extended pelvic lymphadenectomy in radical cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer. Material and method: Prospective descriptive study on 38 extended pelvic lymphadenectomy patients from January 2013 to April 2017 at Hue Centre Hospital. Results: Mean of age: 63.45 ± 12.5 years old. Female/man: 3/38. Lymph nodes metastasis6/38 patients, 4 obturator lymph node positive and 2common iliac vessels lymph node positive. Mean time of pelvic lymphadenectomy: 78 ± 43 mins. Mean of blood loss: 120 ± 55ml. Mean of lymph node count: 13 ± 4. Conclusion: Extended pelvic lymphadenectomy should be perform for all patients radical cystectomy to improve postoperative survival and It is safe when perform at a good surgery centre with experienced surgeon. Key words: Extended pelvic lymphadenectomy; invasive bladder cancer; Radical cystectomy
