Is hysterectomy beneficial in radical cystectomy for female patient with urothelial carcinoma of bladder? A retrospective analysis of consecutive 112 cases from a single institution.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is no criterion for determining whether female patients operated with cystectomy would benefit from hysterectomy. This study compares the oncological outcomes between female patients receiving uterus preserving cystectomy (UPC) and uterus excision cystectomy (UEC).

Methods

Retrospective review of 121 female patients with urothelial carcinoma of bladder undergoing UPC (n = 63) or UEC (n = 49) at a single institute between January 2006 and April 2017. Individual postoperative follow-up plans were performed for patients through outpatient visits. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) estimates were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox regression.

Results
