Effectiveness of Adjuvant Chemotherapy for Locally Advanced Bladder Cancer [Urologic Oncology]
Conclusion
In this observational study, adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with improved survival in patients with locally advanced bladder cancer. Although neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains the preferred approach based on level I evidence, these data lend further support for the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced bladder cancer postcystectomy who did not receive chemotherapy preoperatively.
