Overview
Prospective and multicenter Italian registry intended for naïve adult patients affected by locally advanced-metastatic urothelial carcinoma intended for systemic treatment, or for palliative or observation procedures
Description
This is a multicentre, prospective and non-interventional study in which all patients treated according to clinical practice will be included. The registry will include all patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma or with lymph node involvement defined as unsuitable for surgery. The study involves medical visits and clinical-radiological re-evaluations according to clinical practice. There are no additional procedures. The clinician will establish the number of visits necessary for each patient according to the needs encountered and depending on the treatment chosen. The participating centers were selected in such a way as to adequately represent all the different geographical areas. The duration of the study is 24 months: 12 months of enrollment plus 12 months of further follow-up.
