    The study evaluated the prognostic impact of squamous differentiation in bladder cancer after radical cystectomy.

  • 2

    Patients were categorized into three groups: pure urothelial carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma with squamous differentiation, and pure squamous cell carcinoma.

  • 3

    Unadjusted analysis showed that patients with squamous differentiation had worse overall survival compared to those with pure urothelial carcinoma.

  • 4

    After propensity score matching, squamous differentiation remained an independent risk factor for worse overall survival.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that squamous differentiation is associated with more aggressive tumor biology in bladder cancer.
