Overview
Muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) has a poor prognosis even after radical cystectomy. Postoperative survival stratification based on radiomics and deep learning may be useful for treatment decisions to improve prognosis. This study was aimed to develop and validate a deep learning radiomics model based on preoperative enhanced CT to predict postoperative survival in MIBC.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:

- contrast-CT scan less than two weeks before surgery;
- complete CT image data and clinical data.
Exclusion Criteria:
- patients who received neoadjuvant therapy;
