  • * Histopathologic confirmation.

  • No previous chemotherapy.

  • Partial resection, without clean surgical margins.

  • A = locally advanced; PET (+): PET-positive suggestion of malignancy; TUR: transurethral resection of bladder malignancy; ↓ = decreased in size and metabolism; IV = distant metastases.
