Comparative Assessment of Chemotherapy Followed by Consolidative Radical Cystectomy Versus Chemoradiation for Clinically Node-Positive Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder
Patients with cN+ bladder cancer who received CRT had a worse prognosis compared to those who underwent chemotherapy followed by RC. The incorporation of more effective systemic therapies is required to improve outcomes, as in our analysis, only one in four cN+ patients survived beyond 5 years.
