Measuring Surgical Recovery After Radical Cystectomy

Tracking recovery progress after bladder removal surgery.

Phase N/A

A radical cystectomy is a surgery to remove the bladder to treat bladder cancer. This study aims to create a registry, or a big list, of how people recover after this surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center and other places. They will look at what patients say about their recovery (called patient-reported outcomes or PRO) and what doctors report (called clinician-reported outcomes or CRO). By collecting all this information, doctors hope to find ways to make recovery better in the future.

Key Points:

  • Participants are bladder cancer patients having radical cystectomy at specific centers.
  • There are no specific exclusion criteria, meaning anyone fitting the inclusion criteria can join.
  • By joining, you help improve future treatments and care for others.

There is no mention of how long the study lasts, how many visits are needed, or any risks involved. However, by participating, you may contribute to better treatments for future patients.
