Patients who have been diagnosed with metastatic bladder cancer are generally treated with chemotherapy. Chemotherapy may also be recommended for “locally advanced” bladder cancer in order to reduce the chances of recurrence of cancer after radical cystectomy. This process is called “Adjuvant chemotherapy.” “Neoadjuvant chemotherapy” is sometimes administered before radical cystectomy so as to improve the results of surgery and to reduce the size of the tumor.
