Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine if one month of general health optimization before surgery for kidney tumors can help participants recover more quickly from surgery. The optimization process is called prehabiliation, and will last one month. It consists of 1. A comprehensive health assessment 2. Assisted smoking cessation 3. A home exercise program. The investigators will compare an intervention group receiving one month of prehabilitation with a control group receiving the standard of care. Some of the main questions the investigators want to answer are * Are participants in the intervention group more satisfied with their quality of recovery after surgery? * Do participants in the intervention group maintain more of their physical abilites compared to the control group?

Eligibility

Min Age: 65 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study looks at whether a structured exercise and preparation program (called prehabilitation) done in the 2–4 weeks before kidney tumor surgery can improve recovery and outcomes in older adults who are somewhat frail. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 65 years or older - You have a small kidney tumor (clinical stage T1) and are scheduled for surgery to remove part or all of the kidney - You score between 3 and 6 on the Clinical Frailty Scale (meaning you are managing independently but have some health vulnerabilities) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your surgeon or medical team believes a 2–4 week delay in surgery would be harmful for you - You do not understand Danish or English Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

OTHERPrehabilitation

Pre-KiT prehabilitation consists of 1. A geriatric guided assessment with relevant interventions. The assessment will include cognitive evaluation, screening for depression, functional assessment, as well as evaluation of nutritional risk, assessment of past and current diseases, and a thorough review of the patient's medication list focusing on drug interactions. It will also include social history and standard laboratory results, 2. Physical activity. A four week home exercise program, adjusted to the participants physical abilities. 3. Assisted smoking cessation
