Abstract

Radical cystectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy and trimodality bladder-sparing therapy or TMT, are both curative options for patients with nonmetastatic muscle invasive bladder cancer. Patients should be afforded the opportunity for a multidisciplinary evaluation with equipoise in discussing these options for eligible patients. We discuss the barriers to broader acceptance and utilization of TMT and encourage support of clinical trials of TMT.
