Effectiveness of a Personalized 6-month Programme on Frailty in Older Patients Treated for Bladder or Kidney Cancer.
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Summary
Bladder and kidney cancers are commonly diagnosed in older adults. Surgery remains the primary treatment modality for patients with kidney or bladder cancer. In older patients, common co-morbidities include fatigue, physical deconditioning characterized by reduced cardiorespiratory fitness and progressing sarcopenia, pain- whether disease- related or treatment-induced- and undernutrition. These factors increased the risk of post-operative complications and exacerbate patient frailty. The investigators propose a personalized 6-month program both pre- and post-surgery, including adapted physical activity sessions, therapeutic education workshops, and systematic referral to the department's DAPAP program.
