New treatment option for Bladder Cancer
Official title A Home-Based Prehabilitation Exercise Intervention for Improving Physical Function in Patients With Bladder Cancer and Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer, Get Moving Trial
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06040762
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Prehabilitation refers to the process of improving a patient's functional capabilities prior to a surgical procedure with the goal of decreasing post-surgical inactivity and physical decline. This clinical trial evaluates the utility of a personalized home-based prehabilitation exercise intervention for the improvement of physical function and surgical outcomes in patients with urothelial carcinoma undergoing definitive or consolidative surgery of the bladder (radical cystectomy) or upper tract (nephroureterectomy, ureterectomy) with or without preceding neoadjuvant/systemic therapy.
