We report a case of bladder cancer in a 54-year-old woman who underwent renal transplantation for chronic renal failure. Six years after the transplantation, she was diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer with multiple lung metastases. She received gemcitabine/cisplatin therapy for Stage IV bladder cancer, and the dose of the immunosuppressants was reduced to prevent adverse effects. Since lung metastatic lesions disappeared after four courses of chemotherapy and no new lesions were found, we performed radical cystectomy and right nephroureterectomy with ileal conduit construction. Although she was followed closely without therapy, multiple lung metastases appeared 6 months after the radical cystectomy. Gemcitabine/carboplatin therapy was administered, and the lung metastasis improved slightly until the end of the 4th course, but aggressive growth was observed after the 5th course. She switched to palliative treatment without requesting additional treatment and died of cancer 1 year and 9 months after total cystectomy.There is no evidence-based treatment strategy for advanced bladder cancer after kidney transplantation. It is necessary to recognize that the patient had renal dysfunction and was in an immunosuppressed state. Thus, it is crucial to select appropriate drug and surgical treatments for each patient.
