Brief Title: Multi-parameter Magnetic Resonance Imaging Guides Precise Treatment of Urothelial Carcinoma
Official Title: Multi-parameter Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Early Evaluation of the Efficacy of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Modified GC Regimen for Urothelial Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT04588168
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.
