Relationship of frailty with treatment modality selection in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (FRART-BC study)

Abstract: Background: We aimed to investigate the association of frailty with treatment selection in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) as frailty is one of the key factors for modality selection.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated frailty in 169 patients with MIBC from January 2014 to September 2020 using the Fried phenotype, modified frailty index, and frailty discriminant score. The primary purpose was comparing the frailty between the patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) with those who h… Show more

“…Thus, the development of frailty‐based treatment strategies is urgently needed for older patients. Previous studies showed that frailty was associated with the treatment modality selection, type of urinary diversion, and adverse postoperative outcomes 22–24 . In addition, frailty was associated with an increased odds of delayed GI function recovery or the rate of POI or anastomotic leakage in patients who underwent elective colorectal cancer resections.…”

“…Previous studies showed that frailty was associated with the treatment modality selection, type of urinary diversion, and adverse postoperative outcomes. [22][23][24] In addition, frailty was associated with an increased odds of delayed GI function recovery or the rate of POI or anastomotic leakage in patients who underwent elective colorectal cancer resections. These findings suggest that there is an association between frailty and the delayed bowel function or POI.…”

“…A recent study suggested that frailty plays a key role in modality selection (radical cystectomy or radiotherapy) 26 and urinary diversion selection (ileal neobladder or others) 27 . However, the clinical application of a comprehensive geriatric assessment is not easy because of its complexity and time‐consuming nature 15,18–20 .…”

“…Frailty assessment in elderly patients with cancers is important in managing the balance between harms and benefits [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. However, a full geriatric assessment in all candidates is time-consuming and is not feasible in clinical practice [ 10 , 29 , 30 ].…”
