Trial Identification

Brief Title: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment for Perioperative Optimization in Cystectomy

Official Title: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment for Perioperative Optimization in Cystectomy

Study ID: NCT05679557

Conditions

Bladder Cancer

Interventions

Perioperative geriatric assessment and intervention

Study Description

Brief Summary: Patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer are often older and multimorbid, thus in an increased risk of perioperative mortality and morbidity in relation to radical cystectomy (RC). The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of perioperative Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and tailored intervention in older, frail patients with bladder cancer undergoing RC.

Detailed Description: Patients will be randomized 1:1 and allocated into either control or intervention study arm. The control group will receive perioperative "care as usual" according to exciting principles and guidelines. The intervention will comprise a preoperative, thorough geriatric, multidisciplinary assessment, focused on optimizing health issues of expected importance in further course of surgery. Furthermore, postoperative ward rounds by a geriatric team will be conducted. Thus, the course of treatment for each patient will be a close interdisciplinary collaboration.
