[Prognostic of older age for patients with invasive-muscle-bladder cancer and treated by radical cystectomy].

CONCLUSION: This work allowed us to assert that advanced chronological age is significantly associated with an advanced pathological stage of the disease (volume, pT, grade, lymph nodes) and a low overall survival rate. This could be useful for selecting subjects who would require adjuvant therapy, as well as for planning early complementary therapies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3.
