While most diagnoses involve localized disease, advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) often leads to short overall survival (OS).

However, recent therapeutic advancements, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and targeted therapy using antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), have shown promise in clinical trials, initially among patients who have undergone platinum-based chemotherapy.

Additionally, other ADCs and targeted therapies have exhibited promising efficacy in clinical trials.
