N2 - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of tumor diameter and tumor necrosis on oncologic outcomes in patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder treated with radical cystectomy (RC).MATERIALS AND METHODS: We treated 517 consecutive patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder treated with RC without neoadjuvant chemotherapy at our institution between 1996 and 2011. All RC specimens were meticulously re-reviewed for the largest residual tumor diameter and for the presence and extent of tumor necrosis. Cox regression models evaluated the association with disease recurrence and cancer-specific survival.RESULTS: At RC, 155 patients (30.0%) had a residual tumor diameter ≥3 cm and tumor necrosis was present in 156 patients (30.2%). Tumor diameter and necrosis were significantly correlated (P <.001). Both a tumor diameter ≥3 cm and the presence of tumor necrosis were associated with an older age, advanced tumor stage, higher tumor grade, lymph node metastasis, positive surgical margin status, lymphovascular invasion, and administration of adjuvant chemotherapy (P values ≤.009). A tumor diameter ≥3 cm and the presence of tumor necrosis were associated with disease recurrence and cancer-specific mortality in Kaplan-Meier analyses, respectively (pairwise P values <.001). In addition, a tumor diameter ≥3 cm was an independent predictor of cancer-specific mortality in multivariate analysis that adjusted for standard clinicopathologic features.CONCLUSION: Tumor diameter and necrosis are closely correlated and associated with aggressive tumor features and inferior oncologic outcomes. A residual tumor diameter ≥3 cm is an independent predictor of cancer-specific mortality. This additional information should be considered to be reported in every pathology report for consideration in patient counseling and treatment decision making. In addition, these results underscore the importance of a thorough transurethral resection of the bladder tumor before RC.
