Abstract
Often associated with a poor prognosis, advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) has progressed to muscle-invasive or metastatic stages. Traditionally, chemotherapy has been the primary treatment for aUC, though its effectiveness in advanced stages remains limited. Recent developments have introduced promising therapies, notably the combination of enfortumab vedotin with pembrolizumab, which is now recommended as the first-line therapy following the EV-302 trial results. This combination has demonstrated significant improvements in survival rates. This review aims to explore the evolution of treatment strategies for aUC, emphasizing the shift towards immunotherapy and targeted therapies, and discusses the potential for optimized treatment algorithms to improve patient outcomes.
