Study Summary

This trial is testing a healthy eating program to see if it can help improve outcomes for people with bladder cancer. The program includes educational materials and phone support to help people make healthier choices.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults diagnosed with early-stage bladder cancer (Tis, Ta, or T1) who live in Western New York and haven't had a cystectomy. They must speak English, have no other recent cancer diagnoses, and understand the study's nature to give informed consent. Excluded are those recently treated with chemo or radiotherapy, unable to consent or follow the protocol, with brain metastases or severe illnesses.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a behavioral dietary program aimed at improving eating habits and possibly reducing bladder cancer recurrence risk. It includes educational materials, phone calls, and interactive messages as part of the healthy eating program.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a dietary intervention focused on education and behavior change rather than medication or invasive procedures, significant side effects are not anticipated. However, participants may experience changes in diet-related symptoms.
