Age related trends in the utilization of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for muscle invasive bladder cancer

CONCLUSION: Rates of NAC use prior to RC have increased among all age groups with the lowest utilization rate among the elderly. NAC use was associated with greater pathologic downstaging in all age groups. These data show a promising trend in the uptake of the gold standard for treatment of MIBC; however, the underlying etiology of differing rates of NAC utilization remains to be determined.PMID:38238117 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.01.006
