Robot-assisted Versus Open Radical Cystectomy in Patients Receiving Perioperative Chemotherapy for Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer: The Oncologist’s Perspective from a Multicentre Study
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the outcomes of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC) combined with perioperative chemotherapy for muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer (UBC).
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate surgical and oncological outcomes for RARC and ORC in multimodal treatment.
