Brief summary
This study explores and compares health-related quality of life and urinary outcomes in postoperative partial cystectomy and matched radical cystectomy patients.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Explore and compare urinary outcomes in postoperative partial cystectomy patients and matched radical cystectomy patients through patient-filled questionnaires. II. Explore and compare health related quality of life in postoperative partial cystectomy and matched radical cystectomy patients using patient-filled questionnaires. III. Explore the relationship of patient-specific characteristics, ranging from demographic characteristics and clinicopathologic characteristics, on variation in HRQOL and urinary outcomes among the partial cystectomy and radical cystectomy cohorts.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Health-related quality of life - EORTC QLQ-C30 | Up to 1 year | Assessed using the EORTC Core Quality of Life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30), which is designed to measure cancer patients' physical, psychological and social functions. It is a 30-item questionnaire related to symptoms and activities during the past week. Responses are recorded on a scale of 1-4 where 1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. Scores among partial cystectomy patients will be compared to radical cystectomy patients. |
| Self-reported urinary outcomes | Up to 1 year | Assessed using the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire - Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (EORTC QLQ-BLM30), a 30-item questionnaire related to general symptoms experienced during the past week or during the past 4 weeks. Responses are recorded on a scale of 1-4 where 1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. Scores among partial cystectomy patients will be compared to radical cystectomy patients. |
