Bladder Cancer
Kristie L. Kahl
Stromal cells – known to provide structure to one’s organs – found in bladder cancer may explain why some patients do not respond to Opdivo (nivolumab) treatment.
Angelica Welch
Some patients eligible for bladder surgery due to cancer may safely opt to preserve the organ.
Angelica Welch
After chemotherapy, immunotherapy has become the standard treatment for bladder cancer. Will it ever play a bigger role?
Brielle Urciuoli
While there is currently no definitive way to predict who will respond and who will not, researchers at Brighton and Sussex Medical School in the United Kingdom are working on a blood test that could identify about half of those who may not.
Kristie L. Kahl
CURE spoke with Matthew Mossanen, M.D., from the Division of Urology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, about what Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is and what patients should know about this treatment option.
Brielle Urciuoli
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated the prescribing information for two immunotherapy agents – Keytruda (pembrolizumab) and Tecentriq (atezolizumab) – approved to treat patients with locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer who are not eligible for cisplatin-based therapy.
Brielle Urciuoli
With five immunotherapy drugs approved in the bladder cancer space, the next question researchers find themselves asking is whether these drugs would work better alone or as part of a combination for patients with metastatic disease.
Felicia Mitchell
Creating a medical family tree is helpful. If cancer is common, noting which branches include it can help inform decisions.
Katie Kosko
Women are more likely to die from bladder cancer earlier on after diagnosis, according to recent study findings published in the European Journal of Cancer. However, after that time frame the risk of death is higher for men.
Brielle Urciuoli
Many questions still remain in the treatment of localized bladder cancer, like which patients are best suited to receive neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) chemotherapy – a procedure that could be beneficial to many, but comes with increased toxicity.
