Are you fully prepared as we move further into the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) era in early-stage bladder cancer? Already well established in metastatic urothelial carcinoma, the role of ICIs has now been validated and resulted in regulatory approvals in both non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and high-risk muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). In this interdisciplinary discussion, two bladder cancer experts provide practical guidance on the use of ICIs in the treatment of patients with early-stage bladder cancer, including as part of bladder-sparing and perioperative approaches. Hear about accumulating evidence on these agents and learn guideline-based strategies for incorporating immunotherapy into personalized treatment plans and collaborating with other members of the cancer care team to manage immune-related adverse events and improve outcomes for your patients. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Appraise accumulating evidence on immunotherapy strategies for bladder cancer management in early-stage disease; Incorporate approved and emerging immunotherapeutic approaches in personalized treatment plans for patients with early-stage bladder cancer, considering the available evidence, guidelines, and principles of multidisciplinary and patient-centered care; and Design and collaborate on evidence- and team-based management protocols to address the unique suite of adverse events associated with immunotherapeutic treatment options in bladder cancer.
