The impact of treatment for muscle‐invasive bladder cancer on health‐related quality of life
In this largest population-based study to date on HRQoL in MIBC, HRQoL largely recovered to baseline levels during the first 2 years after diagnosis. However, persistent deteriorations in physical and cognitive functioning, body image, and sexual function were observed, particularly in patients treated with RC (with or without NAC).
