Published 01 April 2021 Adjuvant therapy trials for urothelial carcinoma have traditionally been challenging to perform.  Radical cystectomy is a significantly morbid procedure that leads to high complication and readmission rates.   Hence, many patients are not fit to receive any adjuvant therapy after definitive local therapy due to a compromised health situation. At this time, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is still the definitive standard. 1 However, not all patients receive neoadjuvant therapy for a multitude of reasons.  For those who did not receive neoadjuvant cisplatin combination chemotherapy, common sense warrants strong consideration of adjuvant therapy as long as a patient is fit and interested. However, we have extremely limited evidence on what to do if a patient has residual muscle invasive disease after prior receipt of neoadjuvant combination cisplatin-based chemotherapy.  This is clearly an unmet need population due to the very poor prognosis.
