Abstract
Abstract Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is a prevalent disease with a high recurrence rate and the potential to progress to muscle-invasive stages. While transurethral resection and bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) immunotherapy remain the mainstay of treatment, limitations exist, particularly for high-grade and BCG-unresponsive NMIBC. This necessitates the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies. This talk will explore promising avenues in NMIBC management, including combination intravesical therapies, enhanced delivery methods for existing treatments, and emerging fields like gene therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy variants, and photodynamic therapy. These approaches hold the potential to improve bladder preservation rates, reduce recurrence, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes across the entire spectrum of NMIBC disease.
