This week, we explore muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). This space has made significant progress with the completion of two pivotal trials. The first was VESPER, comparing two chemotherapy regimens. The key to this trial may be the amount of cisplatin delivered, but there are some unknowns in a real-world setting. It also compared the neoadjuvant to the perioperative space. The second trial utilises immunotherapy in the perioperative landscape and is the first trial to so but only used one chemotherapy regimen.

A must-listen to episode comparing the complexities of early bladder cancer and the options available.

Studies discussed in the episode:
