Trial ID: NCT01224665
A Phase III Surgical Trial to Evaluate the Benefit of a Standard Versus an Extended Pelvic Lymphadenectomy Performed at Time of Radical Cystectomy for Muscle Invasive Urothelial Cancer
Thomas A. Stamey Research Professor of Urology
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Histologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma of the bladder
- Stage T2, T3, or T4a disease
- No clinical stage consistent with a low-risk of node metastasis (CIS only,
T1)
- No T4b disease (fixed lesion)
- Disease that requires primary radical cystectomy and lymph node dissection for
definitive treatment
- No laparoscopic surgery
- Predominant urothelial carcinoma with any of the following elements allowed:
- Adenocarcinoma
- Squamous cell carcinoma
- Micropapillary or minor components of other rare phenotype
- No pure squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma
- No visceral or nodal metastatic disease proximal to the common iliac bifurcation by
2-view chest x-ray and abdominal-pelvic imaging by computerized tomography or MRI of
the abdomen and pelvis
- No intra-operative pelvic lymph node involvement (confirmed by frozen section) at or
above the bifurcation of the common iliac vessels in any of the extended template
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- Zubrod performance status 0-2
- ALT and AST ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN)*
- Alkaline phosphatase ≤ ULN*
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Fertile patients must use an effective contraception
- No other prior malignancy except adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin
cancer, in situ cervical cancer, or stage I or II cancer from which the patient is in
complete remission for the past 5 years
- Medically suitable to undergo cystectomy, in the physician's opinion NOTE: *Levels may
be ≥ ULN provided metastatic disease is excluded using dedicated liver imaging, bone
scan, or biopsy.
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- See Disease Characteristics
- No prior partial cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer
- No prior pelvic surgery that would obviate a complete extended lymphadenectomy (e.g.,
aorto-femoral/iliac bypass)
- Prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy for this cancer allowed provided it has been completed
and patient has recovered
- No prior pelvic irradiation
procedure: therapeutic conventional surgery
procedure: therapeutic standard lymphadenectomy
procedure: therapeutic extended lymphadenectomy
