Background

The treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer includes neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy. The American Urological Association guidelines stress the optimization of patient performance status in the perioperative setting. Therefore, implementation of nutrition education is critical for the multi-disciplinary care of this vulnerable patient population and wide distribution of information is critical.

Objective

The goal of our study was to create a nutrition-based video education series for patients undergoing chemotherapy and radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.

Methods

Scripts for the videos were developed through an iterative process by experts in nutrition, urology, and communication. Providers and patient advocates
