[A case report of a patient treatable by home palliative care, administered zoledronic acid used for bladder cancer with hypercalcemia].

We experienced a case in which zoledronate was effective for alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms arising from urinary bladder cancer-associated hypercalcemia, and long-term palliative home care was feasible by continuation of the administration. A female in her eighties was found to have bladder cancer. After transurethral resection of the bladder tumor, part of it was left unresected.
