Purpose: A bladder-sparing strategy is a useful option for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), in which the response to chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is primarily important in achieving favorable oncologic outcomes. Our objective is to evaluate the impact of immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based subtyping in MIBC on prediction of CRT response.Methods and Materials: Treatment protocol consisted of induction CRT followed by partial or radical cystectomy as consolidative surgery; 118 eligible patients with non-metastatic MIBC were retrospectively analyzed. Of these patients, 92 eventually underwent partial or radical cystectomy after CRT. We applied the IHC-based subtyping model developed by Lund University, which classifies patients into urobasal (Uro), genomically unstable (GU), and squamous cell cancer-like (SCCL) subtypes. GU and SCCL cancers are supposed to be highly aggressive and to have worse prognoses than Uro. Correlations of subtypes with CRT response were analyzed clinically in all patients and pathologically in 92 cystectomized patients. The impact of each subtype on cancer-specific mortality (CSM) was also analyzed.Results: Of all patients, 26 (22%), 61 (52%), and 31 (26%) were classified into Uro, GU, and SCCL subtypes, respectively. Clinical complete response (CR) was achieved in 42% of patients overall after CRT, with a significantly higher proportion in GU patients (52%) and SCCL patients (45%) than in Uro patients (15%; P
