Abstract
Patients who received concurrent palliative care in addition to usual urologic care following radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer had better outcomes, including improved fatigue, depression, quality of life, and posttraumatic growth. Although further research on this topic is needed, our results suggest that providing palliative care services in addition to usual urologic care for patients with bladder cancer may significantly reduce postoperative symptoms.
