Program Overview

Locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) is an aggressive form of cancer with a poor prognosis, with a survival of 12–15 months with cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy, but only 3 to 6 months if left untreated. However, up to 50% of patients are ineligible to receive standard platinum-based treatment regimens due to the presence of comorbid conditions, and most who do receive treatment, eventually develop progressive disease. Recent developments have led to the approval of three new classes of agents that have vastly expanded treatment options for patients with mUC. With the expansion of the therapeutic armamentarium, the oncology care team is faced with interpreting a significant amount of new data, evolving guidelines, and nuanced considerations in clinic regarding practical application of these agents.

This series of CME-certified, social media-based activities will provide learners with information regarding new and evolving classes of therapies, updated guidelines in the US and EU, as well as information regarding treatment safety profiles and appropriate management of adverse events.

This video-based activity focuses on US and EU guidelines for managing mUC.
