06/01/2010 - "While radical cystectomy, the best treatment option for local control of bladder cancer, has been shown to be safe in the elderly, outcomes depend more heavily on the functional status of the patient than on chronologic age. "

11/01/2002 - "The best results has been achieved using systemic chemotherapy, not only in survival rates but in preserving the bladder integrity, playing the radical cystectomy a rescue role in cases of recurrence or persistence of the tumor. "
10/01/2001 - "Based on more than 15 years experience in an albeit small number of patients, we believe that if there is a functional external sphincter and tumor margins can be safely cleared, this form of surgery offers patients the best opportunity to preserve quality of life following cystectomy."
01/01/2000 - "Provided there is a functional external sphincter and tumor margins can be safely cleared, this form of surgery offers patients the best opportunity to preserve quality of life following cystectomy."

12/01/2008 - "To review our experience with orthotopic neobladder reconstruction (ONR) in women, highlighting functional and oncological outcomes, as ONR has been used increasingly for urinary diversion in women after radical cystectomy (RC), largely due to a better understanding of the natural history of urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) and of the anatomy underlying the female continence mechanism, but defining the safety and long-term efficacy of ONR remain important to expanding its use. "
05/01/2015 - "Radical cystectomy (RC) with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection constitutes the gold standard treatment for muscle-invasive and high-risk non-muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder refractory to instillation therapy. "
01/01/2015 - "Our data did not show a significant improvement in overall survival with immediate versus deferred chemotherapy after radical cystectomy and bilateral lymphadenectomy for patients with muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma. "
03/01/2014 - "Radical cystectomy (RC) with pelvic lymph node dissection constitutes the gold standard treatment for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and high-risk nonmuscle-invasive disease refractory to instillation therapy. "
08/01/2011 - "Re: Liberman et al.: Perioperative mortality is significantly greater in septuagenarian and octogenarian patients treated with radical cystectomy for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (Urology 2011;77:660-663)."

09/01/1990 - "Our study demonstrates that radical cystectomy has been highly effective in curing patients with high grade superficial disease, including those with superficially invasive disease associated with nodal metastases."
10/01/1992 - "The adjuvant COMPA chemotherapy for two patients with pelvic metastasis after radical cystectomy showed good results. "
01/01/1993 - "This study was carried out to examine the efficacy of extraperitoneal pelvioscopy in detecting pelvic metastasis in patients scheduled to undergo radical cystectomy without preoperative chemo- or radiotherapy. "
07/01/2002 - "Of these 20 patients, 13 underwent cystectomy: 6 stayed disease-free, 1 died of postoperative complications, 2 developed regional metastases, and 4 developed distant metastases. "
04/01/1995 - "Of the 2 cases defined as sCR, one had to undergo radical cystectomy and remains disease-free while the other one died of metastasis. "

01/01/2012 - "Endometrioma cystectomy leads to significant reduction in ovarian parenchyma volume and AFC, when compared to contra lateral ovary. "
01/01/2011 - "Both ovarian endometrioma and cystectomy are associated with a significant reduction on ovarian reserve. "
01/01/2012 - "In moderate and severe endometriosis, a medico-surgical approach remains the gold standard, but more and more papers are reporting a low ovarian reserve after laparoscopic cystectomy for endometriomas. "
01/01/2012 - "We have retrospectively included 15 women with no previous ovarian surgery who benefited from cystectomy of an unilateral endometrioma the diameter of which was superior to 30mm. "
