Comparative Analysis of Standard and Split-Dose Cisplatin in Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Bladder Cancer

Abstract

Cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) prior to radical cystectomy (RC) reduces mortality from tumor progression by 33% and achieves complete pathological response (pCR) in one-third of patients. However, the comparative efficacy of different cisplatin dosing regimens remains understudied.
