Bladder cancer is a disease of the elderly with a median age at diagnosis of 70 years and radical (RC) cystectomy still represents the gold standard treatment option for muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Nevertheless, age and comorbidities could represent limiting factors to this surgery. The aim of the present study is to describe morbidity and survival outcomes in a large series of patients older than 75 years old who underwent radical cystectomy
