Multicenter Study

High hospital and surgeon volume and its impact on overall survival after radical cystectomy among patients with bladder cancer in Quebec.

Previous studies reported improved outcomes for bladder cancer patients who had radical cystectomy (RC) performed by surgeons and hospitals with high annual RC volumes. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of high hospital and surgeon volume on overall survival after RC for bladder cancer in Quebec. ⋯ Compared to low-volume providers, having RC for bladder cancer performed in high-volume hospitals or by high-volume surgeon was associated with improved overall survival.
