Historically, the standard of care for muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma (MIUC) was radical surgery with cisplatin-based chemotherapy in eligible populations; however, more than 50% of patients still have a metastatic progression following radical surgery. This non-CME webinar will focus on the opportunity to highlight the need for additional treatments in patients with UC post-radical resection. A urology expert will provide scientific rationale to support how patients with UC at a high-risk of recurrence after radical resection may benefit from adjuvant immunotherapy treatment. In support of improving patient care, the urology expert will characterize the importance of communication across the multidisciplinary team, the central role of the urologist and how they can help to manage IO-therapies.
