Re: Updates in the management and future landscape of urothelial carcinoma
Immunotherapy is gradually revolutionizing bladder cancer treatment. In this extensive review published by Hanna et al. in your journal, the authors presented recent studies that are trying to challenge the standard platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment of metastatic bladder cancer by chemoimmunotherapy. However, upfront pembrolizumab, atezolizumab and durvalumab association with standard of care chemotherapy did not improve overall survival when compared to chemotherapy alone.We hereby highlight a study that was not included in this review, the INDUCOMAIN trial, by discussing its results and its future implications on immunotherapy for metastatic bladder cancer.
