Abstract

Radical cystectomy is the standard treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer. Using perioperative cisplatin-based chemotherapy, 5‑year overall survival rates are 5% higher with neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared to local therapy alone. New multimodal concepts have been developed to improve oncologic efficacy and to reduce treatment-related morbidity. Perioperative use of checkpoint inhibitors aims at improving efficacy, while bladder-preserving concepts try to avoid cystectomy in good responders. This article reviews new developments in radioimmunotherapy and perioperative combination therapies as well as bladder-preserving concepts like trimodal bladder therapy.
