Abstract
Although neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy prior to radical cystectomy is the current standard of care for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promising results in this setting. Phase II and III data of neoadjuvant programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) receptor/PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) inhibitors are now available with biomarker analyses of pre- and posttreatment tumors to help guide precision-based treatment to individual tumors. While still in its infancy, this review of available neoadjuvant immunotherapy trials (PURE-01, ABACUS, NABUCCO) and their biomarker analyses can contextualize the molecular and immunology-based biomarkers to improve prediction of individual patient response and outcomes.
