The programme features a 45-minute interactive learning activity, including:

This Medscape course responds to ongoing challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of advanced urothelial carcinoma, particularly the need for improved communication, timely intervention, and better integration of quality of life considerations into treatment planning.

Key topics include:

• Selecting appropriate first-line treatment and understanding emerging data
• Optimising treatment sequencing across the disease continuum
• Balancing efficacy, side effects, and patient preferences
• Implementing shared decision-making in daily practice

Developed through a strategic collaboration between the World Bladder Cancer Patient Coalition and Medscape Global Oncology, and supported by an independent educational grant from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, this initiative reinforces the importance of embedding the patient voice in clinical education.
