Abstract:
Urothelial carcinoma(UC)is one of the most common malignant tumors in the urinary system.Its morbidity and mortality are high.For decades,the treatment plan of criteria is still based on cisplatin chemotherapy,but the side effects are relatively large.The effect is not good.At present,more and more immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown good efficacy and safety in the treatment of UC.In the era of precision medicine,the future of UC lies in the use of more accurate,less toxic,and more targeted treatments.Similarly,it is imperative to develop reliable predictive biomarkers and innovative treatment combinations.This article will review the research progress and future prospects of urothelial cancer immunotherapy in recent years.
