Long‐term quality of life in patients with bladder cancer following radical cystectomy
Directly after RC, patients have lower PF, EF and QoL-sum, compared to a normative population. Notably, EF recovers to normative levels over a period of 8 years after RC. Clinicians are encouraged to administer supportive care interventions to enhance the QoL for patients undergoing RC, especially targeting older patients and those with higher ASA scores.
