Figure: Consensus treatment pathway
In cisplatin-eligible patients, induction chemotherapy is advocated. Subsequently, patients are then stratified according to their response, choosing additional surgery (radical cystectomy with extended pelvic lymph node dissection) or second-line systemic treatment. In cisplatin-ineligible patients, Prof. Bracarda urged that it is essential to enrol as many of these patients as possible into clinical trials (e.g. immunotherapy) to facilitate the implementation of new approaches for these patients; the current data for carboplatin have been disappointing.
