Raising the Bar in Bladder Cancer Care is a three-part podcast series featuring leading experts who discuss the evolving treatment landscape in bladder cancer. Through evidence-based discussions and practical insights, the series explores treatment sequencing in advanced urothelial carcinoma, new perioperative approaches in muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and the importance of multidisciplinary strategies to optimize patient care and adverse event management.

Join Enrique Grande and Michiel van der Heijden as they review the latest evidence supporting perioperative treatment strategies in MIBC, before exploring how evolving biomarkers such as ctDNA and utDNA may help guide risk assessment, treatment selection, and future bladder-preservation strategies.
