Exploring the Immunoresponse in Bladder Cancer Immunotherapy

Bladder cancer (BC) represents a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from recurrent non-invasive tumors to advanced stages that require intensive treatments. BC accounts for an estimated 500,000 new cases and 200,000 deaths worldwide every year. Understanding the biology of BC has changed how this di...

description Bladder cancer (BC) represents a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from recurrent non-invasive tumors to advanced stages that require intensive treatments. BC accounts for an estimated 500,000 new cases and 200,000 deaths worldwide every year. Understanding the biology of BC has changed how this disease is diagnosed and treated. Bladder cancer is highly immunogenic, involving innate and adaptive components of the immune system. Although little is still known of how immune cells respond to BC, immunotherapy with bacillus <i>Calmette–Guérin</i> (BCG) remains the gold standard in high-risk non-muscle invasive BC. For muscle-invasive BC and metastatic stages, immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1 have emerged as potent therapies, enhancing immune surveillance and tumor cell elimination. This review aims to unravel the immune responses involving innate and adaptive immune cells in BC that will contribute to establishing new and promising therapeutic options, while reviewing the immunotherapies currently in use in bladder cancer.
