Purpose: To evaluate guideline adherence and variation in the recommended use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and the effects of this variation on survival in patients with non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).
Patients And Methods: In this nationwide, Netherlands Cancer Registry-based study, we identified 1025 patients newly diagnosed with non-metastatic MIBC between November 2017 and November 2019 who underwent radical cystectomy. Patients with ECOG performance status 0-1 and creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min/1.
