Morbidity and quality of life in elderly patients receiving ileal conduit or orthotopic neobladder after radical cystectomy for invasive bladder cancer.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVES:The objectives of the study were to evaluate morbidity, survival, and quality of life (QoL) in elderly patients with invasive bladder cancer who received an orthotopic neobladder or an ileal conduit. METHODS:The charts of 85 patients, aged 75 or older (median age 78), who had received an ileal conduit (n = 53) or an orthotopic neobladder (n = 32) after radical cystectomy at 3 Italian institutions in the period January 2000 to September 2004 were retrospectively reviewed. Perioperative and postoperative complications were recorded, as well as survival data at last follow-up. QoL was evaluated in 34 of 37 patients who were alive at the time of analysis by using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) instruments quality of life questionnaire C30 (QLQ-C30) and QLQ-muscle-invasive bladder cancer module (QLQ-BLM). RESULTS:Multiple regression analysis showed that stage significantly affected survival whereas the type of urinary diversion did not. Global Health Status (GHS) scores in the neobladder group were higher than in the ileal conduit group but the difference was not statistically significant. The scores of all the QLQ multi-item scales and single-item measures were comparable in the 2 groups. Overall, 56% and 25% daytime and nighttime complete continence rates were observed in patients with an orthotopic neobladder. CONCLUSIONS:The results of our retrospective analysis suggest that an orthotopic neobladder can be suitable for elderly patients with no additional morbidity compared with an ileal conduit. Both types of diversion seem to result in acceptable scores for most aspects of QoL, including urinary symptoms and continence rate. These figures may be helpful in the preoperative counselling of elderly patients with bladder cancer.
