Treatment Patterns and Overall Survival Outcomes of Octogenarians with Muscle Invasive Cancer of the Bladder: An Analysis of the National Cancer Database

Abstract

In elderly patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer chemoradiation is an alternative definitive treatment strategy with survival equal to that of surgery alone and superior to that of chemotherapy alone or radiation therapy alone. If a patient was able to receive neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy with surgery, additional survival was observed in this nonrandomized study.
