Patient-Centered Surgical Prehabilitation for Bladder Cancer
This study is testing a prehabilitation program to help people prepare for bladder removal surgery (cystectomy) due to bladder cancer. The program includes virtually supervised exercise training for four weeks before surgery and nutritional support with liquid Ensure shakes for two weeks before surgery and one week after. Researchers want to see if this program can reduce the number of days you spend in the hospital, shorten your overall hospital stay, and lower the risk of complications after surgery. The study is looking for 25 participants between 18 and 85 years old who are candidates for cystectomy. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 25 participants.
- What's involved
- Participants will undergo exercise training for four weeks, receive nutritional shakes for three weeks, and have exercise testing, nutritional assessments, and potentially an interview.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 60 months after surgery to assess hospitalization, length of stay, and complications.
