“…44 More importantly, national CQRs are a tool for measuring and comparing surgical quality at different centers. 45 It allows us to assess the effect of centralization by comparing perioperative outcomes between lowand high-volume centers. CQRs provide a benchmark for surgeons and cystectomy centers to achieve.…”

Bladder cancer (BC) outcomes are unacceptably poor. In Australia, BC survival is actually deteriorating. There is an urgent need to improve outcomes in BC patients, which requires a multipronged approach. One area deserving closer scrutiny is radical cystectomy. Audit is necessary to identify areas for improvement and without it, outcomes remain unknown. Evidence convincingly shows high‐volume surgeons and centers improve cystectomy outcomes including overall survival, yet centralization has still not occurred. The Australia and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate (ANZUP) Cancer Trials Group cystectomy database has been established to facilitate cystectomy audit in Australia and New Zealand. We present initial data from the ANZUP cystectomy database from a single high‐volume center, discuss the benefits of centralization and its challenges in the Asia‐Pacific context.
