- Abstract
Objectif: The aim of this study was to describe the results of radiochemotherapy in patients after transurethral resection of muscle invasive bladder tumors. Material and methods: A retrospective study from May 2014 to May 2016 in the radiotherapy department of the Mali Hospital. Have been included, all patients with bladder cancer infiltrating the muscle. Secondary cancers of the bladder and metastatic forms have been excluded from our study. Transurethral resection of bladder was performed. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel-carboplatin was administered every three weeks in all patients, then external phototherapy 6 MV at a dose of 66 Gy due to 2 Gy of 5 sessions per week 6MV photon of external beam radiotherapy at a dose of 66 Gy due to 2 Gy of 5 sessions per week associated with concomitant cisplatin at dose of 40mg / m2 / week. Results: Eight patients were included in ourstudy. The average age of 53.75 ± 14.84 years. The male sex was predominant 87.5% (n = 7). The history of chronic smoking wasfound in four patients. The main carcinogenic risk factor identified in our patients was urogenital bilharzia (6 cases / 8). The histological type found was urothelial carcinomain 12.5% (n = 1) and invasive squamous cell carcinomain 87.5% (n = 7). Transurethral resection of the tumor was performed in 62.5% (n = 5). Endoscopic biopsy was performed in 37.5% (n = 3). The tumor was classified pT2N0M0 in 50% (n = 4), pT3aN0M0 in 37.5% (n = 3) and pT3bN0M0 in 12.5% (n = 1). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel - carboplatin every three weeks was administered to all patients. The results of radiochemotherapy (see Table: evolution). Conclusion: Concomitant radiochemotherapy is a conservative curative treatment that can be proposed as a replacement for cystectomy, for non-metastatic infiltrating tumors after the most complete endoscopic resection.
