Expert Interview: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (MIBC)
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.
