Time to Cystectomy Does Not Affect Survival
FIG. 22: This Figure shows results from a study by Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center that explored the time to cystectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.[9] Whether the time interval from diagnosis to neoadjuvant chemotherapy was ≥6 weeks or <6 weeks did not appear to be associated with any statistically significant difference in overall survival (far-left graph). Similarly there was no significant difference in survival associated with a time interval from neoadjuvant chemotherapy to radical cystectomy of ≥22 weeks or <22 weeks (center graph). Finally, overall survival was similar whether the time interval from diagnosis to radical cystectomy was ≥28 weeks or <28 weeks (far-right graph).
