Phase N/A

Study Purpose: This study aims to create a registry, or a collection of information, about how patients recover after a surgery called radical cystectomy. This surgery involves removing the bladder and is often done for bladder cancer patients. By collecting information from both patients and doctors, researchers want to find ways to improve recovery and health results after surgery.

Eligibility: To be part of this study, you must be a patient with bladder cancer who is having a radical cystectomy at the MD Anderson Cancer Center or associated hospitals.

  • Time Commitment: Participants will be involved in the study during their surgical recovery period.
  • Information Collection: Information will be collected from both patients and doctors about the recovery process.
  • Potential Benefits: The study may help improve future surgeries and recovery processes by identifying successful recovery strategies.
