Abstract
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy regimens represent the standard of care in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. However, many patients are ineligible for cisplatin due to comorbidities or performance status. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) has become a well-established treatment alternative in metastatic bladder cancer. The following review discusses current literature and guideline recommendations based on two case studies, in order to provide practical know-how about therapy sequences and treatment processes.Entities:
