Published: July 2024

A 48-year-old woman without obvious environmental risk factors was diagnosed with metastatic urothelial carcinoma harboring a mutation in typical of driver mutations for non-small cell lung cancer. Within a year, her cancer progressed on four standard therapies for urothelial cancer, including cancer in lungs, liver, bone, and brain. As fifth-line therapy, she received osimertinib, leading to a complete response in the brain and improvement elsewhere, and the cancer remained controlled for six months. Targeted therapy for rare driver mutations can be effective in urothelial cancer and should be considered prior to exhausting standard therapies.

Introduction: Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the urinary tract (SCNEC-URO) has an inferior prognosis compared to conventional urothelial carcinoma (UC). Here, we evaluate the predictors and patterns of relapse after surgery.

Materials And Methods: We identified a definitive-surgery cohort (n = 224) from an institutional database of patients with cT1-T4NxM0 SCNEC-URO treated in 1985-2021.

(Purpose) We performed a clinical retrospective study on the evaluation of pembrolizumab treatment results for advanced urothelial cancer in our hospital. (Materials and Methods) Twenty-seven patients diagnosed with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who received pembrolizumab between April 2018 and December 2021 were included. We retrospectively reviewed medical records to examine treatment outcomes, immune-related adverse event (irAE), and prognostic factors.

Comparison of the efficacy of enfortumab vedotin and paclitaxel plus carboplatin in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma.

Int J Clin Oncol

January 2025

Department of Integrative Cancer Therapy and Urology, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kanazawa University, Takaramachi13-1, Kanazawa, Ishikawa, 920-8640, Japan.

Background: Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is a novel treatment for metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) that progresses after platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of EV with that of paclitaxel plus carboplatin therapy (TC), which was commonly used as late-line therapy.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients with mUC who progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy.
