Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (Tests) for Bladder Cancer Participants Undergoing Radical Cystectomy

This study is looking at whether a comprehensive geriatric (older adult) health assessment — including tests of physical function, memory, nutrition, and social support — can help predict how well patients 65 and older recover after bladder removal surgery for bladder cancer. The goal is to improve surgical planning and recovery for older patients. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 65 years old or older - You have been diagnosed with bladder cancer (confirmed by tissue biopsy) - You are scheduled to have your bladder surgically removed (radical cystectomy) at the University of Chicago - You may also be having surgery for palliative reasons, not just curative - Pre-surgery chemotherapy (neoadjuvant) is allowed - All genders, races, and ethnicities are welcome **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your bladder removal surgery is planned for a non-cancer reason - You have cancer from another organ (such as prostate, rectal, or cervical cancer) that has spread to the bladder Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
