Abstract:
Cytoreductive cystectomy appears to have survival advantages as a part of multimodal approach for well-selected patients with bladder cancer. Patient with clinical lymph node metastases might benefit from surgical consolidation after achieving a measurable response to chemotherapy. The exact role of cytoreductive/consolidative cystectomy is yet to be determined in well-designed prospective trials.
