This is a video synopsis/summary of an Investigator Perspectives featuring Neal Shore, MD, FACS.
In concluding remarks on optimizing care, Shore reinforces that BCG remains standard of care for initial treatment of high-risk non–muscle invasive bladder cancer when available. In shortage settings, alternatives like dose-dense gemcitabine plus docetaxel should be considered. Across settings, enrolling patients in clinical trials is critical to advance the field.
For BCG-unresponsive patients, Shore recommends urologic oncologists consider checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy if comfortable with managing potential immune-related adverse events. Collaboration with medical oncologists is advised given their expertise with these agents. Preventing recurrence and progression remains central to improving patient outcomes and burden of intensive management. Ultimately, Shore conveys excitement for preventing disease advancement in bladder cancer through new therapeutic strategies.

Advancing bladder cancer care: The importance of integrating mental health support
September 9th 2024"I think the fact that we're having these conversations, that they are being talked about at national meetings, and that we are bringing the patient voice into this is hugely important," says Mary W. Dunn, MSN, NP-C, OCN, RN.
Speaking of Urology Podcast: Dr. Ritch and Dr. Katz discuss new bladder cancer management app
December 7th 2021“It's not a replacement for clinical judgment, obviously. But at the end of the day, the idea is that it shows you what your next steps are based on what the American Urological Association and [Society of Urologic Oncology] guidelines are for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer,” Chad R. Ritch, MD, MBA, FACS.
