简要总结
Treatment of localized muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is radical cystectomy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) improves survival.
Approximately 50-60% of all MIBC patients undergoing NAC before cystectomy are histopathological without remnant tumor in the cystectomy specimen (T0). However, there is currently no optimal method to evaluate whether the patient is true T0 or has remnant tumor in need for consolidating radical treatment. The study aim is to investigate if 15O-H2O PET/MR can predict complete local response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with MIBC and thereby identify potential candidates for organ preservation.
详细描述
For patients with MIBC treated with NAC and radical cystectomy there is currently no good way of evaluating whether the patient is true T0 or has remnant tumor in need for consolidating radical treatment. Methods for better selection of patients that potentially can avoid cystectomy is therefore needed.
15O-labeled water (H2O) is the gold standard for PET quantification of regional tissue perfusion. 15O-H2O has been validated as a freely diffusible tracer for measuring perfusion in the myocardium and cerebral blood flow and 15O-H2O PET is the golden standard for noninvasive imaging to quantify tumor blood flow (TBF).
Method: Patients scheduled for NAC followed by radical cystectomy due to histologically documented MIBC stage cT2-4a in the urinary bladder will be included. A 15O-H2O PET/MR scan will be performed at time of inclusion (baseline) and again after NAC prior to cystectomy.
Hypothesis
We hypothesize that changes in tumor architecture and perfusion estimated with 15O-H2O PET/MR measurements and clinical evaluation during NAC can identify patients with complete local response to chemotherapy and therefore select patients to avoid radical cystectomy.
Perspectives: This study will be the first to use 15O-H2O as tracer in bladder cancer. If proven efficient, evaluation of patients undergoing NAC with 15O-H2O PET/MR could potentially safely select patients for a true bladder sparring approach and potentially give some patients the choice of chemotherapy monotherapy, or in combination with other systemic oncological treatments like immunotherapy. If successful, this should be followed by randomized studies to document the clinical benefit and potentially reduce cost and increase quality of life by safely selecting patients for bladder sparring treatment of bladder cancer.

结局指标
主要结局
