This study collects clinical and tissue samples from people who are having surgery for bladder cancer and related urinary-tract tumors. It aims to improve understanding of cancer and may help future care by building a large research dataset.
This study looks at how fluid absorbed during bladder cancer removal surgery affects cell-free DNA (tiny pieces of cancer DNA) in your blood. Researchers want to understand if these blood markers can help predict surgery outcomes and guide treatment decisions.
This trial tests whether a thorough “geriatric assessment” (a health check focused on older adults) can help you be better prepared for bladder removal surgery. It may guide supportive care before and around surgery to improve safety and recovery.
This study looks at how memory and thinking change after major surgery in people age 70 and older. It may help doctors understand who is at risk and how to reduce problems with thinking after surgery.
This study looks at how older adults' thinking and memory may change after a common prostate surgery, and whether some patients become confused or delirious afterward. It may help doctors understand who is at risk for these problems.
This study tests whether a structured mindfulness and high-intensity exercise program before radical bladder surgery can help patients improve health and recovery. You may be asked to use monitoring devices and complete questionnaires during the study.
