Period‐specific mean annual hospital volume of radical cystectomy is associated with outcome and perioperative quality of care: a nationwide population‐based study

Objective To investigate the association between hospital volume and overall survival (OS), cancer‐specific survival (CSS), and quality of care of patients with bladder cancer who undergo radical cystectomy (RC), defined as the use of extended lymphadenectomy (eLND), continent reconstruction, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), and treatment delay of 3 months after diagnosis. Conclusions The current study supports centralisation of RC for bladder cancer, but also underpins the need for monitoring treatment delays associated with referral.
