Bladder Cancer Patient-Reported Outcomes

November 7, 2016 updated by: David Latini, Baylor College of Medicine

A Cross-Sectional Study Of Patient-Reported Outcomes For Bladder Cancer Patients With Non-Invasive Disease

The purpose of this study is to identify aspects of the bladder cancer (BlCa) survivorship experience that differ by clinical risk at diagnosis. The investigators will collect cross-sectional data from persons with BlCa to identify aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and symptom management. The study originally enrolled only nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer survivors but has been expanded to include survivors with any stage disease. Information from this study will be used to develop a new patient education and counseling intervention.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Health-related quality of life as measured by the EORTC QLQ C30 and BLS24 (nonmuscle-invasive) or BLM30 (muscle-invasive or metastatic)
Time Frame: Duration of Study

Health-related quality of life as measured by the European Organization for Resarch and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) C30 and BLS24 (that is, BLadder cancer Superficial, meaning nonmuscle-invasive) or BLM30 (BLadder cancer muscle-invasive or metastatic).

Data are assessed at one time point only. Survey participants may be assessed at any point between diagnosis and 4 years post-diagnosis. The questions in the survey typically ask about health-related quality of life in the preceding 4 weeks.

Duration of Study

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Illness intrusiveness
Time Frame: Duration of Study
Data are assessed at one time point only. Survey participants may be assessed at any point between diagnosis and 4 years post-diagnosis. The questions in the survey typically ask about health-related quality of life in the preceding 4 weeks.
Duration of Study
CaPSURE Fear of Recurrence
Time Frame: Duration of Study

The fear of recurrence measure was originally developed and validated for the Cancer of the Prostate Strategic Urologic Research Endeavor (CaPSURE) study.

Data are assessed at one time point only. Survey participants may be assessed at any point between diagnosis and 4 years post-diagnosis. The questions in the survey typically ask about health-related quality of life in the preceding 4 weeks.
