    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 3, 2023 13:53 Transcription Available


    Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC) is defined as the tumor has spread through the bladder lining and into the bladder muscle. Optimal treatment strategies for MIBC requires the involvement of a specialist multidisciplinary team (MDT), with collaboration between surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists and other specialists.Bladder preservation is an alternative to cystectomy for patients deemed unfit for surgery. The MDT board should develop a treatment strategy tailored to meet the needs of patients seeking bladder preservation. The management of locally advanced operable bladder cancer and the role of pre and postoperative systemic treatments have become increasingly intricate. Neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy has been the standard of care for some years. Adjuvant immunotherapy has now emerged as a new standard of care for postoperative patients with high risks. Nonetheless, there remain gaps that need to be addressed for practicing oncologists to gain an in-depth understanding of individualized treatment strategies for MIBC.Let's watch the recorded video on 'Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for MIBC' to gain comprehensive insights from leading experts – Dr. Francisco X. Real from National Cancer Research Center of Spain, Dr. Félix Guerrero Ramos from Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid, Dr. Natalia Carballo and Dr. Enrique Grande from MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid.

    About 70% to 80% of bladder cancers present as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The management of NMIBC includes transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), followed by single-dose intravesical immunotherapy with bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) or intravesical chemotherapy (mitomycin C, epirubicin, or doxorubicin). The decision to instill BCG and/or chemotherapy is based on the risk of cancer progression or recurrence.For practicing oncologists, it is crucial to address Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding NMIBC such as how to define individual risk groups and treatment recommendations for each group, how to identify BCG refractoriness and relapse in clinical practice, and how to manage patients who are BCG refractory. Let's watch the recorded video on 'Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for NMIBC' to gain comprehensive insights from leading experts – Dr. Francisco X. Real from National Cancer Research Center of Spain and Dr. Félix Guerrero Ramos from Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid, Spain.

    Platinum-based chemotherapy (CT) has been the preferred treatment for patients with unresectable locally advanced and/or metastatic (LA/m) urothelial cancer (UC) for several decades. With the evolving development of immunotherapy in the first-line (1L) setting, the standard management approach for LA/m UC consisted of cisplatin-based CT in cisplatin eligible patients or carboplatin-based CT in cisplatin ineligible patients followed by maintenance avelumab (an anti-PD-L1 inhibitor) in those who do not have disease progression with 1L platinum-based CT.However, with the release of EV-302 and CheckMate-901 data during ESMO 2023, the landscape of 1L treatment becomes more competitive and complex. How can we access the new data? How can we strike a balance between efficacy and toxicity? How can we optimize decision-making regarding 1L treatment for both cisplatin-eligible and ineligible patients?Let's watch the recorded video on 'Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for 1L Treatment Decision-making' to gain comprehensive insights from leading expert – Dr. Enrique Grande from MD Anderson Cancer Center Madrid.
