Influence of pretreatment quality of life on prognosis in patients with urothelial carcinoma.

Background: We investigated the association between the pretreatment quality of life (QOL) and overall survival (OS) in patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC), as the influence of pretreatment QOL on prognosis remains unclear in patients with localized and metastatic UC.

Methods: Between June 2013 and May 2019, we retrospectively investigated 205 patients with UC who received radical cystectomy or nephroureterectomy for non-metastatic UC (M0 group) or systemic chemotherapy for metastatic UC (M1 group). Patients answered the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire C30 (QLQ-C30) before the treatments.
