[When is surgical resection of the primary tumor indicated in metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and what is the scientific rationale?]
Der Urologe. Ausg. A 2017 May
Cisplatin-based polychemotherapy is still the standard therapy for metastatic urothelial carcinoma, although disease progression is often noted at an early time point even in patients with response. In recent years, cytoreductive surgery has been gaining increasing interest in many tumor entities in the setting of metastatic disease to improve patients outcome, but urothelial carcinoma is not regarded as a candidate for such a multimodal therapy approach. However, several retrospective studies suggest a survival benefit of radical cystectomy and/or metastasectomy for well-selected patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma. Prognostically relevant parameters for consolidative cystectomy/metastasectomy after chemotherapy seem to be a distinct response to inductive chemotherapy and limited metastatic spread (regional lymph node, single lung metastasis).
