Abstract
The AMBASSADOR trial revealed improvement in disease-free survival with adjuvant pembrolizumab in patients with high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma compared to observation.1 In this Viewpoint, we discuss the clinical implications of these findings in the context of prior data from the CheckMate-274 and the recently published NIAGARA trial, envisioning the path forward for perioperative immunotherapy.
