Palliative Chemotherapy for Bladder Cancer: Treatment Delivery and Outcomes in the General Population

The median survival associated with palliative chemotherapy for bladder cancer in routine practice is slightly inferior to the outcomes reported in clinical trials. However, consistent with the clinical trial results, a proportion of patients treated with palliative chemotherapy will achieve long-term survival. Gem-Carbo is associated with inferior survival compared with Gem-Cis and MVAC in routine practice.
