Abstract
The benefit of chemotherapy before radical cystectomy is supported by few randomized control trials. In this study, using a large national data set from the USA we found that preoperative chemotherapy is not associated with a survival benefit in all patients in general urology practice. Hence, better selection criteria are needed to determine who will benefit the most from chemotherapy before radical cystectomy.
