Prognostic Factors Influencing Postoperative Survival in Patients With Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Bladder: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to identify prognostic factors influencing survival in patients with bladder neuroendocrine carcinoma (NC).

Methods

This study utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004-2015) to compare NC with urothelial carcinoma (UC). We evaluated the prognostic value of clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes for bladder NC patients. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models and propensity score matching (PSM) were employed for analysis.

Result

A total of 99,704 patients were included, with 603 in the NC group and 99,101 in the UC group. Compared with the UC group, the NC group was inclined to receive radical cystectomy (34.2% vs. 12.2%), radiation (25.0% vs. 4.6%) and chemotherapy (62.0% vs. 22.
