Abstract
Moderate activity of single-agent systemic chemotherapy for advanced urothelial cancer has been reported for more than 30 years. With the introduction of potent combination therapy in the mid-1980s, a clinically significant rate of response as well as prolonged survival was achieved. This review summarizes the results of phase III trials of palliative systemic chemotherapy for advanced urothelial carcinoma as well as recent data from adjuvant and neoadjuvant trials for muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
