Study Summary

Bladder cancer is the most common urinary tract cancer and the 5th most common cancer in the US (1). Yet bladder cancer research is underfunded relative to other common cancers. As a result, bladder cancer care is prone to evidence gaps that produce decision uncertainty for both patients and clinicians. The Comparison of Intravesical Therapy and Surgery as Treatment Options (CISTO) for Bladder Cancer Study has the potential to fill these critical evidence gaps, change care pathways for the management of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), and provide for personalized, patient-centered care. The purpose of CISTO is to conduct a large prospective study that directly compares the impact of medical management versus bladder removal in recurrent high-grade NMIBC patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) failure on clinical outcomes and patient and caregiver experience using standardized patient-reported outcomes (PROs).

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome of patient-reported quality of life is measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 Physical Function scale. The scale ranges in score from 0 to 100, with higher function scores indicating better health. Scale score is calculated by transforming individual item scores into a 0 to 1 scale, taking the mean, and multiplying by 100. Each scale requires responses for at least 50% of the items in order to be calculated.
