Sonpavde et al report the results of a study evaluating the optimal number of cycles of first line, platinum based chemotherapy in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma. While trials have been done to investigate the most effective platinum based regimen, there is limited guidance regarding the optimal number of cycles of chemotherapy.1 Based on the results of these trials most patients in clinical practice are treated with the goal of completing 6 or more cycles, a number that was arbitrarily chosen in these trials.
