“…In a meta‐analysis of 29 studies evaluating cystectomy, HRQoL remained similar or improved compared with pre‐cystectomy . By contrast, HRQoL among patients with NMIBC showed that mental health was significantly worse than SF‐36 norms in the USA at diagnosis, but PCS score was unchanged over a 1‐year period . Lack of differences in HRQoL after treatment may be related to the pre‐treatment baseline (which was not included).…”

“…To date, research on HRQoL for patients with bladder cancer has been limited, with retrospective studies investigating treatment differences within cohorts of patients with NMIBC and MIBC. Among patients with MIBC undergoing cystectomy, HRQoL has been compared for different diversion types , while HRQoL for patients with NMIBC has been studied with regard to various intravesical treatments . A limitation in the current understanding of HRQoL among patients with bladder cancer is how patients' HRQoL changes after diagnosis.…”

“…Our present findings are consistent with a mix-methods study by Ranchor et al [13] which reported that poor perception of disease control was associated with higher psychological distress. Indeed, others have also reported that at 6-months follow-up patient's mental health remains significantly worse compared to baseline [14]. Specifically, perception of poorer control over their illness was significantly associated with older patients (>70 years).…”

Exploring patients’ experience and perception of being diagnosed with bladder cancer: a mixed‐methods approach

ObjectiveTo determine patient experience and perception following a diagnosis of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Patient and methodsPatients were part of a prospective multicentre observational study recruiting patients with NMIBC for a urine biomarker study (DETECT II; ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02781428). A mixed-methods approach comprising: (i) the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Brief-IPQ) and (ii) semi-structured interviews to explore patients' experience of having haematuria, and initial and subsequent experience with a NMIBC diagnosis. Both assessments were completed at 6 months after NMIBC diagnosis. ResultsA total of 213 patients completed the Brief-IPQ. Patients felt that they had minimal symptoms (median [interquartile range, IQR] score 2 [0-5]) and were not particularly affected emotionally (median [IQR] score 3 [1-6]) with a minimal effect to their daily life (median [IQR] score 2 [0-5]). However, they remained concerned about their cancer diagnosis (median [IQR] score 5 [3-8]) and felt that they had no personal control over the cancer (median [IQR] score 2 [2-5]) and believed that their illness would affect them for some time (median [IQR] score 6 [3-10]). A significant association with a lower personal control of the disease (P < 0.05) and a poorer understanding of the management of NMIBC (P < 0.05) was seen in patients aged >70 years. Many patients were uncertain about the cause of bladder cancer. Qualitative analysis found that at initial presentation of haematuria, most patients were not aware of the risk of bladder cancer. Patients were most anxious and psychologically affected between the interval of cystoscopy diagnosis and transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT). Following TURBT, most patients were positive about their cancer prognosis.
