Abstract
Preoperative nutritional status is an important and modifiable risk factor of a patient’s recovery and outcome after radical cystectomy. There are multiple malnutrition screening tools and treatment options. In this review, we discuss the best indicators of this condition and how to optimize nutrition status prior to radical cystectomy.
