Bladder Cancer Patient-Reported Outcomes

Completed
Conditions
Bladder Neoplasms
Registration Number
NCT01090388
Lead Sponsor
Baylor College of Medicine
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify aspects of the bladder cancer (BlCa) survivorship experience that differ by clinical risk at diagnosis. The investigators will collect cross-sectional data from persons with BlCa to identify aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and symptom management. The study originally enrolled only nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer survivors but has been expanded to include survivors with any stage disease. Information from this study will be used to develop a new patient education and counseling intervention.
