Abstract
Stage divergence is common after radical cystectomy occurring in 76% of patients in this study. The implications of stage divergence are equally relevant for those who are upstaged or downstaged in terms of survival, and such data is useful when counseling patients postoperatively. Downstaging at the time of radical cystectomy is associated with better overall and cancer-specific survival.
