Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (Tests) for Bladder Cancer Participants Undergoing Radical Cystectomy
Sponsor: University of Chicago
Summary
This study focuses on providing an educational program for people/participants with bladder cancer who plan to have a cystectomy (surgery) as part of their standard care. Participants in this study will watch videos designed to teach them strategies to help lower their risk of experiencing negative side effects (such as mobility problems, issues with taking medication, and poor quality of life) before and after they have surgery. They will also be asked to fill out questionnaires.

Educational Video Modules on Risk Prevention Before and After Cystectomy (Surgery)
An educational program designed by geriatricians, surgeons, anesthesiologists and palliative care physicians to help people with bladder cancer who plan to receive a cystectomy learn strategies to improve their mobility, medication management, mental clarity/delirium and how they document important side effects or health issues after surgery.
Geriatric Service/ Discharge Planning
A geriatric team will meet with participants after surgery to help them reinforce the strategies they learned in the education video sessions. As part of a geriatric service, this team will also help participants plan/coordinate their discharge from the hospital after surgery.
Questionnaires
These questionnaires will ask about the participants' mobility, frailty, quality of life and additional health/risk factors before and after surgery.
