Overall, conservative treatment had a significantly poorer prognosis than radical cystectomy, but there was no significant difference in prognosis when comparing patients who refused radical cystectomy and received conservative treatment with those who received radical cystectomy. However, hospitalization rates and length of stay were significantly worse for patients who chose conservative treatment, which may lead to a decline in quality of life.
