Summary

The standard treatment of muscle invasive bladder cancer is to administer chemotherapy for approximately 3 months then to have surgery to remove the bladder. Chemotherapy may reduce the size of the cancer in your bladder before surgery and can also help to reduce the chance that your bladder cancer will come back (metastasize) in other parts of your body after bladder surgery.

This study will involve testing cisplatin in lower weekly doses with gemcitabine.The purpose of this study is to test the effects, good and bad, of low dose weekly cisplatin and gemcitabine.
