- Background: Response to neoadjuvant cisplatin treatment in bladder cancer has been linked to expression of Bcl-2 protein by cancer cells. The objective of this study was to test Bcl-2 as a predictive marker of neoadjuvant cisplatin chemotherapy response in a patient cohort from randomized cystectomy trials.Methods: Tumor samples were taken from 247 patients with T2-T4 bladder cancer enrolled in two randomized trials comparing cystectomy with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Tissue microarrays from pre-intervention transurethral resection specimens were assessed for Bcl-2 protein status by immunohistochemistry. Extension of staining above 10% was regarded as positive. Downstaging and survival ratios in relation to Bcl-2 immunoreactivity and neoadjuvant chemotherapy utilization were calculated using the log rank test and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses.Results: Bcl-2 expression was positive in 38% and negative in 62% of the 236 evaluable patients. Bcl-2 negative patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy had a significant increase in survival (p=0.009), while Bcl-2 positive patients showed no difference (p=0.4). However, the interaction variable between neoadjuvant chemotherapy and biomarker status was not significant (p=0.38). When the prognostic value was assessed in the no-chemotherapy group, 5-year overall survival times were significantly better among Bcl-2 positive patients than among Bcl-2 negative patients (42 months vs 33 months, p=0.04), but again Bcl-2 status did not remain independent when other factors were adjusted. Also, in a multivariate analysis with all patients, Bcl-2 was not significant.Conclusions: Bcl-2 status is not an independent predictor of neoadjuvant cisplatin chemotherapy response and is not prognostic in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
