2016 review of agents in clinical trials for metastatic urothelial carcinoma edit
New Agents for the Treatment of Advanced Bladder Cancer - covers many, but the immune checkpoint inhibitors (see p2 & table 2) sound the most promising. Summarised in Systemic Therapy for Urothelial Carcinoma: Is a Renaissance Around the Corner? - Rod57 (talk) 10:09, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
Removed nickname OR edit
- It can extend from the kidney collecting system to the bladder - "Creeping Tumor".<ref>Selvaraj V, Govindarajan P, Deepak M, Sivaraj M. "The creeping tumor:" An unusual presentation of upper urinary tract malignancy. Indian J Urol 2014;30:454-5.</ref>
The above was removed as not only is it written in an uncyclopedic tone but no other references exist for TCCs being called "creeping cancer"; in the above reference, it is simply a nickname that the authors obviously have come up (perhaps from nowhere) and not the medical community. --Qwerty Binary (talk) 14:05, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
