Survival rate of patients diagnosed with the invasive form of bladder cancer is low suggesting an urgent need to implement novel treatments. GTC (gemcitabine, paclitaxel and cisplatin) is a new chemotherapeutic regimen, which has shown promise in clinical trials. Given that receptor tyrosine kinases of the ErbB family are overexpressed in a high proportion of metastatic bladder tumours, approaches involving small-molecule inhibitors of ErbB receptors in combination with conventional cytostatic drugs are of potential interest.

Objectives: ErbB family members present an attractive target for therapeutic manipulation in bladder cancer. Lapatinib is an oral, small molecule, reversible dual inhibitor of ErbB1 (epidermal growth factor receptor) and ErbB2 (HER2) tyrosine kinases. Cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy has proven benefit in palliating symptoms and prolonging survival in patients with metastatic bladder cancer.
