Body image perception and social support are important predictors of quality of life in bladder cancer patients after cystectomy with urinary diversion.

Systematic evaluations focusing on the perception of body image and social support in relation to quality of life (QoL) outcomes in patients RC with UD are currently lacking. This study investigated the relationship between body image perception, social support, and QoL in bladder cancer patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) with urinary diversion (UD).
