Neoadjuvant vs adjuvant chemotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer: a propensity matched analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: The use of NAC+RC was associated with improved OS compared to RC+AC for patients diagnosed with T2-T4, N0, M0 bladder cancer. The increased survival benefit associated with NAC compared to AC among patients undergoing RC may be due to decreased progression to node positivity and pathological downstaging.
