Measuring Surgical Recovery After Radical Cystectomy for Bladder Cancer

This study aims to understand how patients recover after a radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder) for bladder cancer. Researchers are creating a registry, which is a database, to collect information on patients' recovery. They will gather details from patients themselves (patient-reported outcomes) and from doctors (clinician-reported outcomes), along with other health conditions. This information will help them understand what contributes to better recovery and improve future care. The study is looking for 2000 participants who have bladder cancer and are having a radical cystectomy at MD Anderson Cancer Center or its partner institutions. The main goal is to measure post-surgical outcomes at 3 months after surgery. The study status is currently unclear.
