Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC) improves overall survival in patients with resectable muscle-invasive urothelial cancer of the bladder (MIBC). However uptake of NC in Canada is dis-appointingly low. Following a detailed literature review and in consultation with urologic oncology, the Canadian Association of Genitourinary Medical Oncologists (CAGMO) has developed a consensus statement for the use of NC in MIBC. Our primary goal is to increase the uptake of NC for MIBC in Canada and improve patient outcomes.
