| Zusammenfassung: | A 75-year-old man with advanced bladder cancer (cT4N1M0) received three courses of systemic chemotherapy with Methotrexate, Epirubicin and Nedaplatin (MEN). His metastatic lymph node completely disappeared. We performed total cystectomy. Three months after the surgery, he complained of neck pain and nausea. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 3 cm tumor in his right cerebella and a 5 mm tumor in left parietal lobe. He underwent surgical resection of the right cerebellar tumor and a gamma knife therapy for the left parietal tumor. Pathological diagnosis was metastatic urothelial carcinoma. We performed three additional courses of chemotherapy of MEN. He has been well without local recurrence or distant metastasis for 18 months |
