Brief summary

Purpose:To evaluate whether immediate multiparametric MRI evaluate the sensitivity of modified neoadjuvant chemotherapy early in patient with muscle invasive bladder cancer(MIBC). Rationale:Multiparametric MRI may help detect the early changes of bladder cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Detailed description

Objective Primary: To evaluate whether multiparametric MRI can determine the sensitivity of modified neoadjuvant chemotherapy early in patient with muscle invasive bladder cancer(MIBC). Secondary:To determine whether multiparametric MRI can predict the prognosis of modified neoadjuvant chemotherapy early in patient with muscle invasive bladder cancer. Patients may receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (typically three 21-day courses of modified gemcitabine-cisplatin(GC) therapy) followed by radical cystectomy and lymph node dissection. Patients with primary bladder cancer or recurrence which is confirmed by pathology of previous biopsy or TURBT, undergo a multiparametric MRI(mpMRI) at baseline to stage the primary tumor. The mpMRI includes T2-weighted MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging, and dynamic contrast enhancement, which will be given a five-point VI-RADS(Vesical Imaging-Reporting And Data System) score by two radiologists specialized in urogenital radiology. Patients considered NMIBC(Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer) with mpMRI will be given TURBT, while patients with MIBC(Muscle invasive bladder cancer)will receive radical cystectomy and lymph node dissection after three 21-day courses of modified gemcitabine-cisplatin neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients also undergo an immediate mpMRI scan after one, two, and three cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Specimens from the radical cystectomy are then examined by the pathology department as standard routine.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTconventional Multiparametric MRI

After two and three course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patient considered muscle invasive bladder cancer with baseline mpMRI will receive a conventional mpMRI scan.

DRUGChemotherapy

Patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer will receive modified gemcitabine-cisplatin neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to radical cystectomy for a period of two months (three 21 day cycles) as part of standard clinical routine.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTImmediate Multiparametric MRI

Within 24 hours after the use of cisplatin during the first course of modified GC neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patient considered muscle invasive bladder cancer with baseline mpMRI will receive an immediate mpMRI scan.

The patient with muscle invasive bladder cancer will undergo radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection followed by a urinary tract reconstruction.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTBaseline Multiparametric MRI

Patient considered muscle invasive bladder cancer will receive a baseline mpMRI scan within one week before neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
