ABSTRACT

Urothelial carcinoma is a frequent worldwide malignancy. Poor survival rates in muscle-invasive and metastatic urothelial carcinoma impose major challenges for management. We conducted a consensus meeting to discuss the optimal treatment for urothelial carcinoma in Brazil, which was developed by a panel of multidisciplinary experts consisting of oncologists, urologists and radiation therapists. This paper provides recommendations for perioperative treatment, metastatic disease management, bone directed therapy and genetic counselling in urothelial carcinoma based on the specialists opinions and was classified according to the level of evidence found in the medical literature according to the Oxford classification. The recommendations were based on the available treatments in Brazil to guide health professionals in the management of urothelial carcinoma in low- and middle- income countries with limited access to therapy.

RESUMO

O carcinoma urotelial é uma malignidade mundial frequente. As baixas taxas de sobrevivência no carcinoma urotelial músculo invasivo e metastático impõem grandes desafios em relação ao manejo. Realizamos uma reunião de consenso para discutir o tratamento ideal para o carcinoma urotelial no Brasil, desenvolvido por um painel de especialistas multidisciplinares composto por oncologistas, urologistas e radioterapeutas. Este artigo fornece recomendações para tratamento perioperatório, tratamento da doença metastática, terapia dirigida aos ossos e aconselhamento genético no carcinoma urotelial, com base nas opiniões dos especialistas e foi classificado de acordo com o nível de evidência encontrado na literatura médica, de acordo com a classificação de Oxford. As recomendações foram baseadas nos tratamentos disponíveis no Brasil para orientar os profissionais de saúde no tratamento do carcinoma urotelial em países de baixa e média renda com acesso limitado à terapia.
