Overview
Perioperative treatment of muscle invasive bladder cancer has become standard in the last years. New agents like PD1/PD-L1 inhibitors have opened the door for immunomodulating therapy in metastasized bladder cancer. This article focuses on data which has changed or has the potential to change the medical treatment of advanced bladder cancer with a review of literature and proceedings of major meetings (EAU, ASCO, GU-ASCO, AUA).
Key words:
immunomodulators, radical cystectomy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, palliative
