N2 - Patients diagnosed with (muscle-) invasive bladder cancer (IBC) are more likely to harbour comorbidities due to their advanced age at diagnosis. Under-nutrition is a predictor for postoperative morbidity and mortality in cancer patients, but under-reported in urology. Understanding the IBC patient profile before major surgery could facilitate and optimise outcome of the surgical patient.
