There have been significant advances in the management of patients with advanced genitourinary malignancies in the last decade. These advances mostly affect prostate cancer, bladder cancer and renal cell carcinoma. For these patients, survival could be significantly improved by the introduction of new drugs including androgen-pathway targeting drugs for prostate cancer, immunotherapy and other targeted drugs (such as FGFR inhibitors and antibody drug conjugates) for urothelial carcinoma and immunotherapy combinations for renal cell carcinoma.
