EffectiveNess of a Multimodal preHAbilitation Program in patieNts With Bladder canCEr Undergoing Cystectomy. The ENHANCE Randomized Controlled Trial
Currently, the potential value of a multimodal prehabilitation program in bladder cancer has not been extensively studied. The investigators designed the ENHANCE study to assess the effect of a structured multimodal prehabilitation program in 154 patients with bladder cancer on the number (primary endpoint) and severity of complications within 90 days, length of hospital stay, readmissions, physical fitness, muscle strength, physical functioning, nutritional status, smoking behaviour, anxiety and depression, fatigue, quality of life, physical activity, tumor tissue characteristics, and healthcare costs.
• Histologically confirmed, primary, bladder cancer (cTa-4N0/N+M0),
• Planned to undergo radical cystectomy,
• Age ≥ 18 years.
