Step up to surgery: daily walks may cut bladder cancer operation risks
NCT ID NCT06806059
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether walking 8,000 to 10,000 steps each day for four weeks before bladder cancer removal surgery can lower the chance of problems after the operation. About 146 adults with bladder cancer who are scheduled for surgery will take part. Half will be asked to increase their daily steps using a pedometer, while the other half will follow usual care. Researchers will track complications, quality of life, and recovery speed.
