Analysis of Prognostic Factors in Bladder Carcinoma Treated With Radical Cystectomy

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 241 consecutive patients with invasive bladder carcinoma between 1990 and 2008, all had radical cystectomy. The clinical and pathological data and clinical outcome were evaluated. The Chi-square test was used to determine the significance of the relationship between the clinical and pathological findings. While disease-specific survival and the association between patient`s parameters and survival were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method and long-rank test respectively.
