The View Outside of the Box: Reporting Outcomes Following Radical Cystectomy Using Pentafecta From a Multicenter Retrospective Analysis.

We aimed at characterization of the patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) using the prognostic model (a modified pentafecta). In the multicenter retrospective study, we enrolled 304 patients with bladder cancer (pTis-4N0-2M0) who underwent RC between 2015 and 2020 in experienced centers. The definition of the pentafecta was as follows: no Clavien-Dindo grade III-V complications at 90 days and no long-term complications related to urinary diversion <12 months, negative surgical margins, ≥10 lymph nodes (LNs) resected, and no recurrence ≤12 months.
