Abstract
In our retrospective cohort of patients with locally advanced bladder cancer dose dense MVAC was associated with higher complete pathological response and improved survival rates compared to gemcitabine and cisplatin. A clinical trial is warranted to validate these hypothesis generating results to test the superiority of neoadjuvant dose dense MVAC in patients with locally advanced bladder cancer.
