Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a common type of carcinoma worldwide, and it is rare to find it metastasize to the brain. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an emerging treatment for patients. Our department treated a patient with Urothelial carcinoma (UC) that metastazied to the brain with Disitamab Vedotin. Therefore, the aim of this article is to review and share this rare carcinoma case treated in our department, and to have a deep understanding of Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) so that we can improve treatment for Urothelial carcinoma (UC). Informed consent was granted by the patient to share the case information.

Bladder cancer ranks as the 9th most common type of cancer worldwide. Approximately 70 % of bladder cancers are diagnosed as non-muscle invasive, and they are treated with transurethral resection followed by intravesical therapy. Doxorubicin is one of the effective cytotoxic drugs used in intravesical and systemic therapy, but its cardiotoxicity and nephrotoxicity limit therapeutic dosages.

To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of solid, endometrial-like and transitional (SET) cell growth subtype in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). Clinical data of 25 cases of HGSC-SET were collected from January 2020 to March 2024 at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, and their histological features were analyzed. Immunohistochemical stains were used to analyze the expression of ER, PR, PAX8, WT-1, p16, p53 and Ki-67.

Despite the high incidence of bladder cancer (it represents the 7th most common cancer in males), EAU guidelines do not recommend any technique for screening and prevention, whereas the main diagnostic tools remain computed tomography urography (CTU), cytology, and cystoscopy. Unfortunately, these gold-standard modalities are mainly characterized by low sensitivity and accuracy. To minimize the limitations and increase the detection rates of urothelial cancer, several technologies have been developed.

The landscape of available therapeutic options for treatment of genitourinary (GU) cancers is expanding dramatically. Many of these treatments have distinct, sometimes severe, skin toxicities including morbilliform, bullous, pustular, lichenoid, eczematous, psoriasiform, and palmoplantar eruptions. Pruritus and skin pigmentation changes have also been noted.
