Conditions: Keywords:
radical cystectomy

Study design:
Time perspective:
Cross-Sectional
Summary:
This single-site, non-randomized, study evaluates the impact of a physical therapy
consultation for patients with bladder cancer scheduled for radical cystectomy (RC). The
purpose of this study is to investigate whether consultation with a physical therapist
and the development of a personally tailored exercise program in the pre-cystectomy
period for patients with bladder cancer will result in reduced post-operative
complications, morbidity, length of inpatient stay, improve readmission 30-day and 90-day
and improve 90-day mortality. This study will be partially retrospective
(pre-implementation of a physical therapy consultation order) and partially prospective.
