N2 - Neoadjuvant cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy is the current standard therapy for cisplatin-eligible patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). A phase II trial testing treatment intensification by adding the immune-checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab to chemotherapy has yielded promising complete response rates, which suggests that bladder-preserving treatment could become attainable in selected patients. This trial heralds a new era in demonstrating the feasibility of bladder preservation for selected patients with MIBC.
