Clinical Pearls:
- Within the next 10 years, physicians will have hopefully moved away from using chemotherapy to treat patients with bladder cancer
- Physicians need to refine their understanding of the genetic makeup of bladder cancer in order identify validating predictive biomarkers
- Hopefully in the future, physicians will be able to biopsy a tumor in real time, identify actionable alterations in the patient’s tumor, and select a particular therapy based on the findings
