Abstract [en]
It is postulated that delaying surgery negatively impacts survival in bladder cancer (BCa) [1]. European Urology (EAU) guidelines recommend that radical cystectomy (RC) should be performed within 3 months after diagnosis in patients not given neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
We investigated the effect of the total time from referral to treatment on survival whilst also considering time from referral to diagnosis and from diagnosis to treatment to explore possible differences in impact of selection bias in patients with BCa treated with RC.
