Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC) improves overall survival in patients with resectable muscle-invasive urothelial cancer of the bladder (MIBC). However uptake of NC in Canada is dis-appointingly low. Following a detailed literature review and in consultation with urologic oncology, the Canadian Association of Genitourinary Medical Oncologists (CAGMO) has developed a consensus statement for the use of NC in MIBC. Our primary goal is to increase the uptake of NC for MIBC in Canada and improve patient outcomes.
新辅助化疗(NC)可提高可切除的膀胱肌层浸润性尿路上皮癌(MIBC)患者的总生存率。然而,加拿大新辅助化疗的应用率低得令人失望。在进行详细的文献综述并咨询泌尿肿瘤学专家后,加拿大泌尿生殖医学肿瘤学家协会(CAGMO)制定了关于在MIBC中使用新辅助化疗的共识声明。我们的主要目标是提高加拿大MIBC患者新辅助化疗的应用率,并改善患者的治疗效果。
