NCT02345499

Brief Summary

To date, no trials have been designed to compare open Vs laparoscopic radical cystectomy in the elderly patients, both in terms of functional and clinical outcome measures. A more meaningful comparison of the two modalities is that of a randomized controlled trial.

Eligibility Criteria

Age70 Years+
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsOlder Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with a histologically proven diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder
  • Patients with an indication to ureterocutaneostomy or ileal conduit
  • ECOG Performance Status ≤ 2
  • WBC count ≥4,000/μL; platelet count ≥150,000/μL
  • Recent (within 6 weeks of cystectomy) total body CT imaging study excluding distant metastases as well as upper urinary tract TCC

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who have previously undergone lower abdominal and/or pelvic surgery for invasive cancer (i.e. radical prostatectomy, large bowel surgeries with or without ileal/colonic conduit)
  • Patients who have previously received any pelvic irradiation
  • Patients with a synchronous upper urinary tract malignancy requiring a nephroureterectomy concomitant to cystectomy
  • Patients candidates for a palliative cystectomy (i.e. recurrent haematuria which cannot be treated by endoscopy)
  • Patients with a histologically proven diagnosis of bladder adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and small cell carcinoma
