Overview
The predominant therapy for bladder cancer is surgical resection. Adjunctive chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy may be required.
Medical Therapy
Immunotherapy
- Immunotherapy is a type of biological therapy that uses the immune system to help destroy cancer cells.[1]
- Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG)
- Immunotherapy by intravesicular delivery of Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) is often used to treat and prevent the recurrence of superficial tumors.[2]
- BCG is a vaccine against tuberculosis that is prepared from attenuated live Mycobacterium bovis, that has lost its virulence in humans. BCG immunotherapy is effective in up to 2/3 of the cases at this stage, and in randomized trials has been shown to be superior to standard chemotherapy.[3]
- The mechanism by which BCG prevents recurrence is unknown, but the presence of bacteria in the bladder may trigger a localized immune reaction which clears residual cancer cells.
Chemotherapy
- Intravesical chemotherapy
- Systemic chemotherapy
- During systemic chemotherapy, the drugs are given intravenously.
- Systemic chemotherapy may be a treatment option for bladder cancer that has spread to other tissues near the bladder and bladder cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.[9]
- Chemotherapy is recommended before a radical cystectomy (called neoadjuvant chemotherapy) for many people with bladder cancer that has grown into the muscle layer of the bladder wall. It is also often given after a radical cystectomy (called adjuvant chemotherapy) to people with high-risk features such as cancer that has spread to lymph nodes.[10]
Radiation therapy
- Radiation therapy may be the main treatment for people who can’t have surgery.[11]
- External beam radiation therapy is the type of radiation treatment that is most often used to treat bladder cancer.[12]
- Palliative radiation therapy may be given to relieve symptoms caused by advanced bladder cancer.[13]
