Understanding Frailty in Older Men With Prostate Cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at how frailty (physical weakness and loss of strength) affects older men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Researchers want to understand which men are at higher risk and how this might guide better treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at why some seriously ill adults become frail. It involves imaging and other tests to help doctors better understand and care for patients with serious conditions.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program to see if it can reduce frailty and muscle loss in men with metastatic prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. It may help you become stronger and feel better during treatment.
This study tests a computer program that helps doctors check for frailty in older adults. If you are 65 or olderais, joining may help your doctor spot health risks early and offer better care.
This study looks at frailty (a state of increased weakness and lower energy) and what factors are linked to it in older adults (60+) who are in the hospital. By joining, you help researchers better understand frailty, which could lead to better care for older patients.
This study evaluates how to better assess and manage frailty (age-related weakness and vulnerability) in older cancer patients aged 70 and up who are starting chemotherapy or other cancer treatments. The goal is to help doctors tailor treatment plans to each patient's individual strength and health status.
This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
