Ilaha Isali, MD, MSc, identifies major unresolved gaps in sex-specific bladder cancer research.

The review highlights the role of sex chromosome biology, particularly genes on the X chromosome that escape inactivation.

"My biggest hope for people reading this review is to understand that there are some golden opportunities for research," says Laura Bukavina, MD, MPH, MSc.

"I think integrating microbiome surveillance into clinical trials can bridge the gap between research and also therapeutic applications," says Ilaha Isali, MD, MSc.

"Studying the microbiome overall is challenging because it's dirty science. You have to be incredibly careful with contamination," says Ilaha Isali, MD, MSc, and Laura Bukavina, MD, MPH, MSc.

"The interplay between the microbiome and bladder cancer is very complex," says Ilaha Isali, MD, MSc.

"We...tried to summarize all the findings that could potentially be helpful for future research in terms of bladder cancer," says Ilaha Isali, MD, MSc.
