Long-term survival after female pelvic organ-sparing radical cystectomy versus standard radical cystectomy: a multi-institutional propensity score-matched analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The application of pelvic organ preserving-radical cystectomy (POPRC) in female patients with bladder cancer has attracted more and more attention in recent years. In current study, we aim to compare the long-term oncological outcomes of pelvic organ preserving-radical cystectomy (POPRC) versus standard radical cystectomy (SRC) in a large multicenter retrospective cohort.

Patients and methods

Data on female patients with bladder cancer who underwent POPRC or SRC in January 2006 and April 2018 were included from three Chinese urological centers. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). Secondary outcomes were cancer-specific survival (CSS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). To decrease the effect of unmeasured confounders associated with treatment selection,
