A new combination therapy using Padcev and Keytruda before and after surgery significantly improved outcomes for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who cannot receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy, reducing the risk of cancer progression or death by 60% and lowering the risk of death by 50% compared to surgery alone.
