Objective:

To summarize recent progress in bladder cancer therapy and translational research, focusing on the biological basis and evolution of gemcitabine resistance, emphasizing its clinical significance.

Key Findings:
  • Gemcitabine remains a central treatment for bladder cancer despite resistance issues.
  • Resistance can be categorized into three stages: early, intermediate, and late adaptive resistance.
  • Most mechanistic findings related to gemcitabine resistance are still at the preclinical or retrospective validation stage.
Interpretation:

Understanding gemcitabine resistance is crucial for advancing research; however, specific claims about treatment sequencing and precision management should be removed unless directly supported.

Limitations:
  • No markers currently approved for routine clinical use.
  • Most findings are not yet clinically validated.
Conclusion:

A roadmap is provided for advancing mechanistic discoveries into patient care, specifically addressing the need for clinically useful guidance based on current findings.
