One argument in favor of neoadjuvant treatment has been the potential for radical cystectomy (RC) to preclude receipt of chemotherapy postoperatively. We evaluated the proportion of patients who would be eligible to receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy before and after RC based on renal function. METHODS We reviewed 451 consecutive patients who underwent RC from 2000-2009 to identify 194 patients with cT2-T4 urothelial carcinoma. Serum creatinine immediately before and nadir serum creatinine 1-3 months after surgery were used to calculate creatinine clearance (CrCl) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). A cutoff CrCl ≥ 60 mL/min or GFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was used to determine eligibility for chemotherapy. RESULTS Patients were predominantly male (150/194, 77%) and Caucasian (175/194, 90%). Median age was 70.5 years (IQR 63,77) and median preoperative creatinine was 0.90 mg/dL (IQR 0.5,1.3). Fifty-two (27%) had preoperative hydronephrosis, while 180 (93%) underwent an ileal conduit. From the overall cohort, 41% and 33% had inadequate renal function to receive chemotherapy before RC based on CrCl and GFR, respectively (Table). The frequency of inadequate baseline renal function increased significantly with patient age, from 12% of patients <65 to 54% of patients >65 (p<0.0001). RC did not adversely impact the proportion of patients eligible to receive chemotherapy based on renal function, regardless of patient age. In fact, after controlling for preoperative renal function, gender, race, hydronephrosis, and diversion, patients <65 were found to have a 15% increase in CrCl (p<0.001) and an 11% increase in GFR (p=0.004) after surgery. Proportion of Patients Eligible to Receive Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy by Renal Functional Status All patients (n=194) Patients < 65 (n=59) Patients ≥ 65 (n=135) Pre-op Post-op p Pre-op Post-op p Pre-op Post-op p CrCl≥60 114 (59%) 117 (60%) 0.74 52 (88%) 50 (85%) 0.73 62 (46%) 67 (50%) 0.44 GFR≥60 130 (67%) 137 (71%) 0.35 49 (83%) 51 (86%) 0.73 81 (60%) 86 (64%) 0.49 CONCLUSIONS Approximately 40% of patients who would be eligible for neoadjuvant chemotherapy based on pathologic criteria cannot receive cisplatin due to poor baseline renal function. Importantly, surgery does not adversely impact patients' eligibility to receive chemotherapy based on renal function status. Development of effective non-cisplatin containing regimens is therefore required to improve survival, particularly in older patients.
