Study Description

Brief Summary: Despite knowledge about the effect of preventive measures in lifestyle, smoking,nutrition, alcohol and physical activity (SNAP), there is a lack of systematic assessment of the overall lifestyle of the patient before surgery and knowledge about how lifestyle interventions can be organized in connection with cancer surgery. The intention with prehabilitation is to optimize the individual's risk factors and personal burdens that can affect the clinical and patient reported outcomes after surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intensive SNAP interventions compared to treatment as usual (TAU) in ptt undergoing urological cancer surgery on surgical risk reduction.

Detailed Description: The project contains three clinical intervention studies, in total including 100 urological cancer patients screened positive for at least 1 SNAP factor: I. Efficacy and preferences of intensive SNAP-Interventions among patients with at least one SNAP factor and undertaking neo-adjuvant chemotherapy before radical cystectomy. A randomised controlled trial with nested interviews (42 patients). II. Implementation and preferences of intensive SNAP-Interventions among patients with kidney cancer undergoing nephrectomy/partial nephrectomy. An implementation feasibility study including interviews (20 patients). III. Reach out and effect as well as preferences of perioperative intensive smoking cessation intervention via the municipality clinic compared to the surgical department among smokers with non-invasive bladder cancer treated with Trans-Urethral Resection of the Bladder (TUR-B). A randomised controlled trial with nested interviews (38 patients). The intervention groups receive minimum five educational sessions tailored to individual needs over six weeks perioperatively. The control groups receive standard care.
