Abstract in brief

This study examined how bladder cancer affects the quality of life in older adults, showing that after diagnosis, patients experience significant declines in physical, mental, and social well-being compared to similar individuals without cancer.
Both nonmuscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients reported lower scores in multiple health domains over time, with MIBC patients experiencing more pronounced declines.
Although some improvements were seen within a year after diagnosis, overall health-related quality of life remained lower for bladder cancer patients, highlighting the need for strategies to help improve their well-being.]
