Dr. Geoffrey Sklar On Immunotherapy Advancements in Bladder Cancer

Dr. Geoffrey Sklar, Chief Medical Officer, Chesapeake Urology Associates, spoke with OncLive about some of the exciting advancements in bladder cancer during the LUGPA Annual Meeting.

The PD-L1 inhibitor drugs that have been approved for advanced bladder cancer are currently an exciting topic. A big question that remains is whether these can be effective in early disease as a neoadjuvant treatment, Sklar says.

Other areas, such as high-grade non-invasive bladder cancers, are currently an enigma, as there are not many treatments available. The goal is to see if there is a place for these diseases in that treatment paradigm, Sklar says.
