Purpose: Pathological predictors of outcome for patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer are needed as few data are available in the literature. We retrospectively analyzed a homogeneous and contemporary series of patients treated with radical surgery as monotherapy for bladder cancer to identify the independent predictors of survival.Materials and Methods: We evaluated 369 of 535 patients with bladder cancer treated with radical cystectomy, pelvic node dissection and urinary diversion by the same staff: at a single institution between February 1982 and February 1994. Patients treated with radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy, and those who did not undergo formal pelvic node dissection were excluded from study. The end point of univariate and multivariate analyses was the overall 5-year survival.Results: Univariate analysis revealed that tumor stage, nodal involvement, ureteral obstruction, and vascular, lymphatic and perineural invasion were prognostic predictors of survival (p < 0.05). However, only tumor stage (p < 0.0000) and nodal involvement (p
