Neoadjuvant IO-Containing Systemic Therapy

Explore the optimization of immunotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer by examining emerging clinical trial data, pathologic response rates, and survival outcomes associated with each strategy. Discussion will address patient selection, timing of immunotherapy, and integration with surgery and systemic treatment. Speakers will provide expert perspectives on applying these evolving strategies in clinical practice. This session will focus on the benefits of neoadjuvant IO-containing systemic therapy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Faculty will review clinical trial data demonstrating pathologic response rates, early survival signals, and potential downstaging benefits prior to cystectomy. Participants will learn how neoadjuvant IO-based approaches may improve outcomes.
