Objectives: To analyze contemporary multimodality treatment rates, defined as radical cystectomy plus chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, for pT2–3 any N-stage M0 non-urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder patients. Additionally, we tested for the effect of multimodality treatment versus radical cystectomy alone on cancer-specific mortality. Methods: Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results database (2004–2015), 887 pT2–3 any N-stage M0 non-urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder patients treated with radical cystectomy were identified. Kaplan–Meier plots, and univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses focused on cancer-specific mortality rates. Results: Squamous cell carcinoma was recorded in 499 (56.3%) patients, neuroendocrine carcinoma in 246 (27.7%) and adenocarcinoma in 142 (16.0%). The highest proportion of multimodality treatment patients was recorded in neuroendocrine carcinoma (69.1%), relative to adenocarcinoma (34.5%) and squamous cell carcinoma (26.4%). A statistically significant annual increase was recorded in multimodality treatment rates in neuroendocrine carcinoma patients (46.7–74.2%, P
