Does Timing Matter? Perioperative Outcomes and Quality of Life After Early Versus Delayed Radical Cystectomy Following BCG Therapy

Objectives

To determine whether the timing of radical cystectomy (RC), either early versus delayed following BCG therapy, affects perioperative outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with very-high-risk non–muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). While existing data focus on oncological endpoints, the impact of BCG on these outcomes remains unevaluated.
