Reflections on the AMBASSADOR trial: The role of adjuvant pembrolizumab in muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma.

Recent advances in immunotherapy have transformed treatment for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma, providing hope for cisplatin-ineligible patients. The AMBASSADOR trial evaluated adjuvant pembrolizumab in high-risk patients post-surgery, demonstrating improved disease-free survival.

As overall survival data evolve, pembrolizumab is emerging as a promising adjuvant treatment option, complementing existing therapies in the treatment landscape for this disease.
