About this trial
Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is an aggressive disease with a high-risk of early metastasis and cancer specific mortality. The gold standard treatment of MIBC is radical cystectomy (RC) in conjunction with concomitant bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy . While radical cystectomy remains a primary management strategy for MIBC, high rates of recurrence with surgery alone highlight the likelihood of occult micrometastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. Due to the development and implementation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to radical cystectomy, the prognosis for MIBC patients undergoing radical cystectomy has improved .
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age >18
histological proven MIBC patient treated with neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy( platinum based )
Disqualifiers
Non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC)

Trial population
Data Record of the patients will be reviewed for the following : \*Clinical features:Age , Sex , Smoking ,base line renal function , comorbidities \*HistoPathological features: Histological type of bladder cancer ,Carcinoma in situ,Lymphovascular invasion ( LVI) * Type of neoadjuvant chemotherapy received: Platinum based ( cisplatin, carboplatin) * Number of cycles . * Response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy : Assesed by radiological tools ( MRI , CT ) according to Recist criteria. * Follow up after finishing the course of neoadjuvant chemotherapy , using imaging and examination to detect the response and survival outcomes.

Primary outcomes
Evaluating the factors affecting the response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in muscle invasive bladder cancer
evaluating the neoadjuvant respose by clinical examination and radiological tools ( CT , MRI ) according to Recist criteria
Secondary outcomes
Disease free survival (DFS)
DFS the length of time after primary treatment for a cancer ends that the patient survives without any signs or symptoms of that cancer.
overall survival (OS)
OS: defined as the length of time from either the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for cancer, that patients are still alive.
Progression Free Survival ( PFS )
the average lenght of time after the start of treatment in which a person is alive and their cancer does not grow or spread
