About this trial
Patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer are often older and multimorbid, thus in an increased risk of perioperative mortality and morbidity in relation to radical cystectomy (RC). The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of perioperative Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and tailored intervention in older, frail patients with bladder cancer undergoing RC.
