Background: While perioperative blood transfusion (BT) has been associated with adverse outcomes in multiple malignancies, the importance of BT timing has not been established.Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether intraoperative BT is associated with worse cancer outcomes in bladder cancer patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC).Design, setting, and participants: Outcomes from two independent cohorts of consecutive patients with bladder cancer treated with RC were analyzed.Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: Recurrence-free survival, cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival were estimated and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the association of BT timing with cancer outcomes.Results and limitations: In the primary cohort of 360 patients, 241 (67%) received perioperative BT, including 162 intraoperatively and 79 postoperatively. Five-year CSS was 44% among patients who received an intraoperative BT versus 64% for patients who received postoperative BT (p = 0.0005). After multivariate analysis, intraoperative BT was associated with an increased risk of cancer mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.93; p = 0.02), while receipt of postoperative BT was not (p = 0.60). In the validation cohort of 1770 patients, 1100 (62%) received perioperative BT with a median postoperative follow-up of 11 yr (interquartile range: 8.0-15.7). Five-year RFS (p < 0.001) and CSS (p < 0.001) were significantly worse among patients who received an intraoperative BT. Intraoperative BT was independently associated with recurrence (HR: 1.45; p = 0.001), cancer-specific mortality (HR: 1.55; p = 0.0001), and all-cause mortality (HR: 1.40; p < 0.0001). Postoperative BT was not associated with risk of disease recurrence or cancer death.Conclusions: Intraoperative BT is associated with increased risk of bladder cancer recurrence and mortality.Patient summary: In this study, the effects of blood transfusion on bladder cancer surgery outcomes were evaluated. Intraoperative blood transfusion, but not postoperative transfusion, was associated with higher rates of recurrence and cancer-specific mortality. (C) 2014 European Association of Urology.
