Quality of Life in Patients With Invasive Bladder Cancer - Full Text View

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to learn about the quality of life of people living with invasive bladder cancer. We are interested in learning about how the treatments for bladder cancer affect people. We plan to use the findings from this study to help doctors provide better care and information to patients with invasive bladder cancer.

Official Title:	A Prospective Study of Quality of Life in Patients With Invasive Bladder Cancer

Further study details as provided by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Prospectively characterize the impact of radical cystectomy and different urinary diversions on quality of life of bladder cancer patients. [ Time Frame: conclusion of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Compare various standard and idiographic measures of QOL, to determine their relative contributions in accounting for variance in key outcome criteria and prediction of patient QOL at subsequent assessment points. [ Time Frame: conclusion of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Examine how patients react to more in-depth probing of the interview associated with idiographic assessment. [ Time Frame: conclusion of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Develop a predictive model of QOL after radical cystectomy & urinary diversion using the data from idiographic and standard QOL measures. This model can ultimately be used in office based practice to guide treatment planning with each patient. [ Time Frame: conclusion of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Groups/Cohorts

Assigned Interventions

1

new patients with invasive bladder cancer and/or are scheduled for radical cystectomy and urinary diversion

Behavioral: Quality Of Life questionnaires

All patients who agree to participate will be interviewed using a baseline idiographic quality of life assessment prior to surgery and at approximately 6, 12, 18 and 24 months postoperatively. All patients will also be asked to respond to a questionnaire including all standard measures (closed-ended, multiple choice items) before surgery and at approximately 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months post-surgery.

Eligibility
