Introduction We evaluated anxiety and quality of life (QoL) in patients who were operated for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) Methods The present study is a prospective analysis of patients with histopathologically confirmed NMIBCs after they were submitted to transurethral resection of the tumour (TURBT). Eligible were all adult patients with a single or multiple NMIBCs. All included patients followed therapy with either BCG or Epirubicin instillations. The SF-36 questionnaire Physical and Mental health aspects were used for QoL assessment. Similarly, the STAI-Y was introduced for the state (STAI-Y1) and trait anxiety (STAI-Y2) evaluation. Results In total, 117 eligible patients were included. Regarding SF-36 Physical a 6 months decrease was followed by an improvement at 12 months. Similarly, an increase of the SF-36 Mental health score was identified. In contrast to STAI-Y2, a long-term reduction of the state anxiety was identified. Preoperative SF-36 Physical was inversely correlated with age, while absence of alcohol was associated with lower mental health. Overall, patient characteristics, habits and the administered treatment did not affect the postoperative QoL and anxiety. Conclusions Patient QoL and anxiety improved during follow up. Although certain characteristics were related to QoL and anxiety, further larger scale studies are required.
