Abstract

BACKGROUND: Radical cystectomy is the standard treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer and superficial neoplasms in cases of resistance to intravesical immunochemotherapy.

AIM: To establish the frequency of local pelvic recurrence in patients with bladder cancer after radical cystectomy.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: From 1997 to 2022 radical cystectomy was performed in 407 patients with bladder cancer: 344 (84.5%) men and 63 (15.5%) women. Orthotopic urinary diversion methods were performed in 302 (74.2%) patients, including gastrocystoplasty — 24 (5.9%), ileocystoplasty — 253 (63.8%) and sigmocystoplasty — 25 (6.1%) patients. Continent skin diversion of urine was performed in 13 (3.2%) patients, ureter transplantation into the sigmoid colon — in 42 (10.3%) patients, and ureterocutaneostomy — in 50 (12.3%) patients.

RESULTS: Local recurrence in the pelvis after radical cystectomy was observed in 33 (8.1%) patients: 27 (81.8%) men and 6 (18.2%) women. The average age of men with relapses was 58.7 ± 11.7 years (from 43 to 73 years), women — 50.0 ± 7.8 years (from 24 to 65 years). Simultaneous metastatic lesions of internal organs were detected in 6 (18.2%) patients. Local pelvic recurrence after radical cystectomy occurred more often in lymphopositive patients with extravesical spread of the primary low-grade tumor. The median time from radical cystectomy to detection of pelvic recurrence was 7.0 months, from the moment of detection of pelvic recurrence to the death of the patient — 4.5 months.

CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of local pelvic recurrence of bladder cancer after radical cystectomy is 8.1%. The survival rate of patients with local pelvic recurrence is extremely low.
