Early vs delayed radical cystectomy for ‘high‐risk’ carcinoma not invading bladder muscle: delay of cystectomy reduces cancer‐specific survival

Abstract

•Delay of rCx in 'high-risk' nmiBCA deteriorates CSS and should be avoided. The number of TURBs and the interval between first TURB and rCx are causative factors for delayed rCx and are independently correlated with CSS.
