Durable complete remission of metastatic sarcomatoid carcinoma of the bladder with cisplatin and gemcitabine in an 80-year-old man.

摘要

A patient with a durable, complete, local and pulmonary remission of a metastatic sarcomatoid carcinoma of the bladder treated with gemcitabine and cisplatin is presented. Sarcomatoid carcinoma arising in the bladder is a rare and notoriously aggressive variant of urothelial carcinoma for which an effective systemic treatment has not been reported up to now.
