Impact of body mass index on the oncological outcomes of patients treated with radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer

Purpose Body mass index (BMI) has been associated with worse outcomes in several solid malignancies. We aimed to evaluate the association between BMI and oncological outcomes in patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). Methods We re...

Description
Summary:Purpose Body mass index (BMI) has been associated with worse outcomes in several solid malignancies. We aimed to evaluate the association between BMI and oncological outcomes in patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC) for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB). Methods We retrospectively reviewed 701 consecutive patients treated with RC and pelvic lymphadenectomy for UCB at our institution between 1995 and 2011. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models investigated the association of BMI with disease recurrence and cancer-specific mortality. BMI was analyzed as both continuous and categorical variable (
