Abstract
Few would argue that radical cystectomy is the most complicated surgical procedure undertaken by the urologist today. Yet performing the operation may not always be as difficult as deciding which bladder cancer patients need cystectomy. The challenge in selecting the proper candidate for cystectomy involves the ability to distinguish the patient who will benefit from surgery from the patient for whom surgery is either unnecessary or futile.
