Association between metabolic syndrome and recurrence of nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer in older adults.

CONCLUSION: We found no association between MetS and risk of NMIBC recurrence in this large, multisite cohort of older adults with NMIBC. In order to design personalized care for older NMIBC patients, future research is needed to evaluate associations between common chronic conditions and a variety of oncologic outcomes.
