Survival outcomes and prognostic factors in muscle-invasive bladder cancer: a retrospective cohort study from a Saudi Arabian tertiary center
Survival in BC is closely linked to disease stage, treatment type, and patient performance status. Radical cystectomy remains the main treatment for curing the disease, whereas cisplatin-based chemotherapy is the preferred option for advanced cases. These findings encourage personalized treatment strategies that consider performance status to improve outcomes.
