External Validation of Bladder Cancer Predictive Nomograms for Recurrence, Cancer-Free Survival and Overall Survival following Radical Cystectomy

Abstract

Nomograms for bladder cancer recurrence, cancer specific survival and overall survival following radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection performed well in our series with accuracy comparable to that in the original series. The use of nomogram predictions should be further explored in clinical trials to assess the impact on patient care in clinical practice.
