A good review article titled Advances in Cancer Immunology and Cancer Immunotherapy was published on February 26, 2016 in Discovery Medicine. While not specific to bladder cancer, the article provides a good snapshot of the promise that immunotherapy is offering metastatic cancer patients. One of the charts in the article identify the current immunotherapy drugs that are being tested. None have yet been approved for bladder cancer, but many (including nivolumab) are being tested. I'm hopeful that in a few years there will be a lot more arrows in the quiver of oncologists to shoot at this savage disease.

I would like to see them publish more on mets BC progress. At least there is some hope.
