A GROUNDBREAKING treatment for advanced bladder cancer that doubles survival time has been approved for NHS use.

The combination includes enfortumab vedotin (Padcev) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda), which clinical trials found led to improved survival rates for patients when tested against platinum-based chemotherapy.
