Overview

Chemotherapy is the standard approach for inoperable locally advanced or metastatic cancer treatment. The recommended chemotherapeutical regime for the first line treatment includes gemcitabin/cisplatin, which has replaced M-VAC. Based on III phase study results we can recommend vinflunin for the second line treatment of urothelial cancer after cisplatin (as the first line regime) intolerance/failure.

Key words:
chemotherapy, cisplatin, gemcitabin, vinflunin
