Management of Cisplatin-Ineligible Patients With Metastatic Bladder Cancer and The Role of Geriatric Assessments

Description

In this prospective, observational study, investigators are assessing the optimal approach to treating bladder cancer in older participants with other disease that might put the participants at additional risk from cancer-directed treatments. Investigators are specifically assessing the impact on adverse events, quality of life, and treatment outcomes. Additionally, investigators are assessing the role of the survey, the Geriatric-8, and its ability to predict outcomes in older participants.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and completing questionnaires.

Participation in this research study is expected to last for up to 8 months.

It is expected that about 180 people will take part in this research study.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network and EMD Serono are supporting this research study by providing the necessary funds.
