Risk groups in bladder cancer patients treated with radical cystectomy.

Objective: To stratify patients with bladder cancer into homogeneous risk groups according to statistically significant differences found in PFS (progression-free survival). To identify those patients at increased risk of progression and to provide oncological follow-up according to patient risk group.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of 563 patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC).
