Abstract

This review aims to summarize the latest data on the treatment of bladder cancer published during the specified period. Most of them are evidence-based and were obtained in randomized trials. A new classification based on molecular data was proposed at a consensus meeting of pathologists. A significant correlation has been demonstrated between life expectancy and morphological structure of the tumor. This article covers chemotherapy regimens for patient with BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin) intolerance. Immunotherapeutic agents for muscle-invasive bladder cancer are being actively studied now; scientists are searching for the best treatment regimens with these drugs and their combinations with other antitumor agents. The European Association of Urology has developed a new classification of intraoperative adverse events and recommendations for pharmacotherapy and surgical treatment of patients with bladder cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic. In conclusion, the opinions of experts from the consensus meeting on the treatment of various forms of bladder cancer are given.
