OBJECTIVE: Preoperative prognostic factors in bladder cancer patients have not been fully
established. This study was undertaken to investigate preoperative prognostic factors,
including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and to develop a novel prognostic factors–
based risk stratification model for disease-specific survival (DSS) in bladder cancer patients
treated with radical cystectomy (RC). METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of
189 consecutive bladder cancer patients treated with RC at our institution. Prognostic value …
