FIG. 28:  The most recent NCCN bladder cancer guidelines state that “there is no proven role for neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy for pure squamous cell carcinoma of the bladder.”[5] Local control by cystectomy or radiotherapy is recommended, and in positive surgical margins, adjuvant radiotherapy. If chemotherapy is required in advanced disease, paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin are the agents to be considered.
