Immunotherapy for advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma: an abridged Cochrane review.

Compared to chemotherapy, immunotherapy has little to no effect on the risk of death from any cause in a first-line setting. Nevertheless, it may reduce the risk of death from any cause when used as second-line therapy. The health-related quality of life of participants receiving first- and second-line therapy does not appear to be affected by immunotherapy. Immunotherapy probably reduces or may reduce grade 3-5 adverse events when used as first- and second-line therapy, respectively.
