Advances and future prospects of immunotherapy in bladder cancer
Bladder cancer is one of the common genitourinary malignancies. Since the discovery of intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) in the 1970s for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
there have not been any major breakthrough drugs especially for locally advanced and metastatic bladder cancer. Recently
the immunotherapy for bladder cancer has made great breakthrough. Immune-checkpoint inhibitors targeting the programmed death 1 (PD-1)
programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) pathways have shown significant long-term responses and tolerable safety profiles for locally advanced and metastatic bladder cancer. Inhibitors targeting PD-1
PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are mainly used to restore T cell activity by blocking negative regulation signal
and to enhance the anti-tumor activities of T cells. Other immunotherapies including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy also have great prospects. In this review
the effect of immunotherapeutic agents and the mechanisms in the treatment of bladder cancer are summarized.
