Objective: The objective of this study was to measure and describe the national patient experience of radical cystectomy (RC) pathways in the UK using the validated Cystectomy-Pathway Assessment Tool (C-PAT).
Patients And Methods: A cohort of 1081 patients who underwent RC for bladder cancer, between 1 January 2021 and 31 July 2022 at 33 UK cystectomy centres, returned completed C-PAT responses. SPSS was employed for data summary statistics, including median, interquartile range, Mann Whitney U test or Chi-square test with a 95% confidence interval to assess statistical significance between potentially associated variables.
Background: Bladder cancer (BC) treatments are known to be invasive; nevertheless, research into the long-term effects is limited and in the context of sexual function often male focussed. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) has been reported in up to 75% of female patients. This systematic scoping review examines the literature on sexual consequences of BC in female patients.

- Bladder cancer is a serious type of cancer that affects many people, and those with it often feel worse than people with other types of cancer.
- To help improve the feelings and quality of life of bladder cancer patients, researchers created a special program focusing on their mental, sexual, and physical health.
- They worked together with patients and doctors to design this well-being program, hoping it would help more patients learn about and use the services available to them, which could make their lives better.
