The goal of this activity is to improve the knowledge, confidence, competence, and performance of learners to integrate new agents and recent findings into the treatment of patients with urothelial cancer.

Non–muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the most commonly diagnosed form of bladder cancer. Better understanding of recommended treatment strategies during a bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) shortage, as well as familiarity with novel treatment options that may be on the horizon, will help educate clinicians on how to optimally treat NMIBC.

Recommendations and requirements for biomarker testing vary by the type of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), specific tumor characteristics, and treatment setting.

Recent implementation of the 8th edition of the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual prompted an overhaul of the treatment algorithms for muscle-invasive bladder cancer in the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) Bladder Cancer.

The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for Bladder Cancer provide recommendations for the diagnosis, evaluation, treatment, and follow-up of patients with bladder cancer.

This information was originally presented at the NCCN 23rd Annual Conference: Improving the Quality, Effectiveness, and Efficiency of Cancer Care held in Orlando, Florida, from March 22 - 24, 2018.
