Enfortumab Vedotin Plus Pembrolizumab Has Reshaped Bladder Cancer, From Metastatic Disease to the Operating Room
By David VanderWeele, MD, PhD
For decades, platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin- or carboplatin-based regimens combined with gemcitabine) was the mainstay of treatment for metastatic urothelial cancer, with little improvement from added agents.
