First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 204 people with bladder cancer to see how their quality of life changes after treatment like surgery or radiation. Participants fill out surveys about physical function, pain, fatigue, anxiety, and bladder, bowel, and sexual health. The goal is to understand how different treatments and patient factors affect daily living over time.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors better support bladder cancer survivors by identifying which treatments have the biggest impact on quality of life.
- What could go wrong
