Summary
This pilot study tested whether giving a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with rare types of muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

The main goal was to see if the treatment could make the cancer disappear completely by the time of surgery.
