Current Status of Perioperative Therapy in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer and Future Directions.
Current Oncology Reports 2023 May
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy has been a standard of care in the perioperative management of muscle-invasive bladder cancer for years, but several novel therapies are under active investigation. This review aims to provide an update on recent relevant literature and a forward look at the future landscape of adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients who opt for radical cystectomy.
RECENT FINDINGS: The recent approval of nivolumab as adjuvant therapy established a new treatment option for high-risk patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer after radical cystectomy. Several phase II studies of chemo-immunotherapy combinations and immunotherapy alone have reported pathological complete responses in the 26-46% range, including studies in cisplatin-ineligible patients. Randomized studies of perioperative chemo-immunotherapy, immunotherapy alone, and enfortumab vedotin are ongoing. Muscle-invasive bladder cancer remains a challenging disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality; however, increasing options in systemic therapy and an increasingly personalized approach to cancer treatment suggest continued future improvements in patient care.
