Evidence and Insights on Innovative Treatment for Bladder Cancer: Clinical Breakthroughs From Targeted and Immune Options to Antibodies and Gene Therapy

In this activity, experts in bladder cancer present real-world applications of emerging data for innovative therapeutics to offer practical strategies for developing sound, evidence-based protocols to provide more potent and effective treatment options to patients with bladder cancer.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists and other clinicians involved in the management of bladder cancer.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

  • Discuss the current therapeutic role of novel agents in advanced bladder cancer over multiple lines of treatment and across patient populations
  • Summarize updated evidence about the use of novel therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, targeted agents, antibody–drug conjugates, and gene therapy across the spectrum of bladder cancer settings
  • Recommend patient-appropriate novel therapeutics for the management of bladder cancer
  • Manage unique adverse events associated with novel immune-, targeted-, antibody-, and gene therapy-based treatments for bladder cancer
