Effectiveness of a Personalized 6-month Programme on Frailty in Older Patients Treated for Bladder or Kidney Cancer - FRAGECO - Multicenter, Controlled, Randomized Study
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.
