Abstract:
Bladder cancer is a kind of urothelial cancer with high incidence and heterogeneity. From superficial bladder tumors to muscular invasive malignant tumors, due to their high-frequency recurrence and metastatic characteristics, they are inherently refractory. Although a comprehensive treatment with surgery as the main focus while chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy as a supplement has been formed, the limitations of chemotherapy regimens, the unpopularity of radiotherapy, and the low efficiency of immunotherapy, make clinical decision-making still difficult. Recently, a number of targeted therapies have emerged in bladder cancer and have shown good responses. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channel are novel therapeutic targets and current research hotspots in bladder cancer. This review discusses the anti-tumoral molecular mechanism of TRP channel in bladder cancer, its feasibility as a potential therapeutic target, and the prospects of drug combination to sensitize platinum-based chemotherapy.
