Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Lymphadenectomy may remove tumor cells that have spread to nearby lymph nodes in patients with invasive bladder cancer. It is not yet known whether extended pelvic lymphadenectomy is more effective than standard pelvic lymphadenectomy during surgery. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying standard pelvic lymphadenectomy to see how well it works compared to extended pelvic lymphadenectomy in treating patients undergoing surgery for invasive bladder cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 5-year Disease-free Survival (DFS)

    Comparing 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) in participants undergoing radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) treated with radical cystectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) compared to radical cystectomy and standard pelvic lymphadenectomy. Disease-free survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization to date of first documentation of relapse/recurrence or death due to any cause. Participants last known to be alive without report of relapse/recurrence are censored at date of last contact. Criteria for recurrence included measurable disease on cross-sectional imaging or plain radiography targeting lung, liver, and bone. If local pelvic recurrence was identified on digital rectal examination, biopsy was required for confirmation. Second primary tumors of the upper urinary tract or retained urethra were not considered to be recurrence.

    Duration of treatment and follow-up until death or 6 years after randomization

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • 5-year Overall Survival (OS)

    Duration of treatment and follow-up until death or 6 years after randomization

  • Median Operative Time

    Duration of surgery

  • Median Days in Hospital

  • Use of Nerve Preservation

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 120 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
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
