CancerNetwork spoke with Jun Gong, MD, a practicing medical oncologist who specializes in the treatment of genitourinary cancers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, regarding a perspective piece titled, “Cisplatin Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in an Aging Population With Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer.”
Gong’s perspective focuses on an article published in the January issue of ONCOLOGY titled, “Use of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Elderly Patients With Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer: A Population-Based Study, 2006-2017.”
In this conversation, Gong overviewed the research and touched on some of the clinically relevant findings. He then detailed his perspective and expanded on cisplatin-based chemotherapy, how age fits into the treatment equation, and where research should focus moving forward in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
