What this trial studies
This study focuses on optimizing patient care throughout the perioperative continuum for individuals undergoing radical cystectomy due to bladder cancer. It involves a multi-modal approach that includes pre-operative assessments, remote patient monitoring, and standard care protocols during the perioperative period. The intervention group will receive additional support through the Perioperative Optimization of Senior Health (POSH) program, which aims to enhance nutritional and functional health before surgery. The goal is to reduce complication rates associated with radical cystectomy by improving patient readiness and monitoring.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with bladder cancer who are scheduled for radical cystectomy.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing cystectomy for conditions other than bladder cancer or those unable to provide informed consent may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly lower complication rates and improve recovery outcomes for bladder cancer patients undergoing surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with similar perioperative optimization strategies, indicating potential for success in this approach.
