Predicting survival after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the association of patient age with pathological and long-term oncological outcomes after radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder carcinoma, as this disease, like many others, increases in incidence with age. PATIENTS AND METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed 241 consecutive patients with invasive blad...
