Abstract:Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) refers to the bladder cancer with clinical stage of cT2-cT4a. MIBC is characterized by the fast progress, apt to recurrence, likely to distant metastasis, high malignancy and high mortality. At present, radical cystectomy (RC) plus pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is considered the standard treatment for MIBC. However, the 5-year survival rate of patients with MIBC remains low, ranging from 27%-67%. In order to improve the oncological outcome, guidelines recommend cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with MIBC. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy could improve the 5-year survival of MIBC. This article reviews the optimal chemotherapy regimens, current status and future issues of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
