Impact of Routine Laboratory Parameters in Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy for Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder: A Long-Term Follow-Up

Abstract

We found elevated preoperative CRP levels and decreased Hb levels to be independent prognostic factors indicating an unfavorable outcome in patients undergoing RC for UCB and were able to validate the TNR-C score in a large patient cohort. We propose using these routine biomarkers for individual risk stratification and optimization of therapeutic strategies in patients undergoing RC for UCB.
