Clinical Predictive Factors of Poor Outcome in Patients With Stage pT0 Disease at Radical Cystectomy

Abstract

Although clinical outcomes in patients with stage pT0 disease are often excellent, metastatic disease develops in a percentage of them. Muscle invasive tumor after primary nonmuscle invasive disease, 5 or more previous recurrences and lymphovascular invasion in the transurethral resection predict poor survival.
