Yale Cancer Center Study Shows Targeted Therapy Improves Survival for Advanced Bladder Cancer
In a new study led by researchers at Yale Cancer Center (YCC), the drug enfortumab vedotin (EV) significantly prolonged survival as compared with standard chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma or bladder cancer, who had previously received platinum-based treatment and a PD-1–PD-L1 inhibitor. The results were published today in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
