Final Pathological Stage after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer—Does pT0 Predict Better Survival than pTa/Tis/T1?

Abstract

pTa/Tis/T1N0 and pT0N0 stage on the final cystectomy specimen are strong predictors of survival in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical cystectomy. We did not discern a statistically significant difference in overall survival when comparing these 2 end points.
