Long-term follow-up in patients treated with methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (M-VAC) for transitional cell carcinoma of urinary bladder: cause for concern.

Abstract:

:Twenty-one patients with high-stage transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder were treated with a combination of methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), and cisplatin (M-VAC). There was a minimum follow-up of thirty-six months (range 36-45) in all patients. Patients were divided into three groups: 10 patients with recurrent TCC post radical cystectomy, 6 patients staged as T3/T4 or N1 treated in a neo-adjuvant setting, and 5 patients who received adjuvant M-VAC four weeks post radical cystectomy. The overall initial response rate in patients with measurable disease was 68 percent (11 of 14), complete response rate 31 percent, and partial response rate 37 percent. There was no response in 31 percent. The durability of response in this series was very disappointing with all complete responders having recurrence of disease, with duration of responses ranging from eight to twenty-one months. Of the 5 patients who received M-VAC as adjunctive therapy, only 1 remains disease-free; the other 4 patients experienced disease progression four to seventeen months postoperative, and all have died. There was one drug-associated death due to nadir sepsis, and myelosuppression occurred in 12 patients. While M-VAC seems to be the best protocol currently available, the real durability of response is most disappointing.
