Abstract

Background and objective: Treatment decision-making in older patients with bladder cancer (BC) is complicated by frailty and comorbidities. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) may support this process. This study evaluated the impact of CGA on treatment selection and identified CGA-prompted interventions in older patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive BC (NMIBC) or muscle-invasive BC (MIBC). Design setting participants and intervention: Patients aged ≥70 yr or aged
