Recent advances in genomics and sequencing technologies have led to a more in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis of GU cancers, resulting in the discovery of new molecular targets. The development of a number of novel therapies, such as checkpoint inhibitors and other targeted therapies, has allowed for a more optimized treatment approach. In 2019 and 2020, several new drugs were approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for all stages of bladder cancer.
