Risk stratification and conditional recurrence after radical cystectomy: toward adaptive follow‐up

Key Points

This research aims to create a model for effectively stratifying patients after radical cystectomy (RC).
Developed a pathologically derived model (pT3-4/pN+/pT2 + LVI) for risk stratification.
Evaluated the model's effectiveness in stratifying post-RC patients.
Proposed a risk-adapted follow-up strategy based on model results.
The model effectively stratifies post-RC patients.
Demonstrated safety in patient management.
Indicates potential cost-effectiveness in follow-up care.

Abstract

This study establishes a simple, pathologically derived model (pT3-4/pN+/pT2 + LVI) that effectively stratifies post-RC patients, enabling a risk-adapted FU strategy. Prospective evaluation of this framework is required to confirm its clinical utility, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
