John Wagstaff, MD, professor at Swansea University Medical School, discusses the survival benefit of immunotherapy for patients with bladder cancer.
Most of the trials have been conducted with single-agent checkpoint inhibitors, explains Wagstaff. These trials showed response rates in the second-line setting of 15% to 25%.
Patients with melanoma who respond to immunotherapy see years of survival benefit; however, longer follow-up is needed to determine if this is the case in bladder cancer, states Wagstaff.
