Abstract: NAC in LR patients was significantly associated with greater odds of finding pT1 disease at RC (OR 2.62; p<0.001) as well as pT0 status (OR 2.82; p<0.001); however, receipt of NAC in LR patients was not associated with a significant difference in 5-year cancer-specific survival (65% vs 68%; p¼0.31).CONCLUSIONS: Our results validate the proposed risk groups for patients with MIBC and support the use of NAC for HR patients.Moreover, we noted that, while NAC in LR patients was associated with a higher likelihood of favorable pathologic outcomes, only a minority (4.7%) of LR patients treated with up front RC were upstaged but unable to receive adjuvant chemotherapy due to postoperative complications, and receipt of NAC in LR patients was not associated with improved survival.
