Renal cell carcinoma, bladder cancer, and prostate cancer are the most common genitourinary malignancies. Recent advancements have produced new targeted therapies, particularly antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), due to a better understanding of the underlying oncogenic factors and molecular mechanisms involved. ADCs function as a `drug delivery into the tumor' system. They are composed of an antigen-directed antibody linked to a cytotoxic drug that releases cytotoxic components after binding to the tumor cell's surface antigen. ADCs have been proven tobe extremely promising in the treatment of several cancer types. For GU cancers, this novel treatment has only benefited patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) . The rest of the GU cancer paradigm does not have any FDA-approved ADC treatment options available yet. In this study, we have thoroughly completed a narrative review of the current literature and summarized preclinical studies and clinical trials that evaluated the utility, activity, and toxicity of ADCs in GU cancers, the prospects of ADC development, and the ongoing clinical trials. Prospective clinical trials, retrospective studies, case reports, and scoping reviews were included.  \nKeywords: genitourinary cancers; bladder carcinoma; urothelial carcinoma; kidney cancer; renal cell carcinoma; antibody–drug conjugates  \n1. Introduction  \nGenitourinary (GU) malignancies are represented by a heterogenous group of cancers with various histology and biology, including renal cell carcinoma, bladder cancer, and prostate cancer. The treatment strategies for genitourinary malignancies have significantly evolved over the last two decades [1]. More recently, antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) have gained attention in many different cancers. For instance, in the GU realm, a remarkable positive outcome has been shown with the combination of the antibody–drug conjugate (enfortumabvedotin) with pembrolizumab for the treatment of metastatic urothelial carcinoma [2].  \nADCs have a unique characteristic and include a monoclonal antibody (mAb) bound to a cytotoxic molecule (payload), with a linker in between. These novel drugs are called“smart chemotherapy delivery” due to their ability to bind to the target (antigen on the surface of the cancer cell","cbCairA1Nf6RA6PU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairA1Nf6RA6PU","pdf",569266,12,"English","# Abstract\n# Keywords\n# Introduction\n## Targeted role of ADCs in GU cancers\n## Mechanisms of action and ADC components\n## Linker types and payload considerations\n# FDA and EMA approved ADCs","[{\"question\":\"What are antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) and how do they work?\",\"answer\":\"ADCs combine an antigen-directed antibody with a cytotoxic drug linked by a linker.
