- Abstract
A 23-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a huge pelvic tumor. MRI showed a tumor mixed with a solid component and polycystic cyst with maximum diameter of about 20 cm. Percutaneous tumor needle biopsy was performed and diagnosis was Ewing sarcoma. At that time, operation is extremely difficult, so the neoadjuvant chemotherapy with ifosfamide, etoposide, Adriamycin, and vincristine were administered. After 6 courses, MRI showed tumor reduction to maximum diameter of 10 cm. We planned tumor resection with total cystectomy for radical resection, but we also tried to preserve bladder considering the young age and quality of life. Although the bladder was partially resected, tumor resection was succeeded without removing surrounding organs. Histopathological examination revealed viable cells remained, but more than 95% was disappeared and the surgical margins were negative. Here we report a case of extra skeletal Ewing sarcoma in the retroperitoneum that was treated with chemotherapy and surgery without scarifying surrounding organs.

- Abstract
The patient was a 52-year old man who underwent laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for kidney cancer. Left adrenal and lung metastases occurred 5 and 11 years after the surgery, respectively. Various molecular-targeted therapies were ineffective, so nivolumab treatment was started 12 years after the surgery. Treatment was discontinued when the patient developed interstitial pneumonia after three courses of nivolumab treatment. After steroid treatment for interstitial pneumonia, both the symptoms and findings of the imaging tests improved quickly. On the other hand, while the effect of Partial Response (PR) was evident in the lungs and adrenal glands, on the basis of the image assessments performed after three courses of treatment, the effect was maintained without regrowth even at the last follow-up, 10 months after discontinuing the treatment.

- Abstract
(Purpose) Pre-treatment low lymphocyte count may result from cytokine secretion by the tumor microenvironment, in association with aggressive tumor biology. We sought to establish the prognostic impact of the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) in advanced urothelial carcinoma. (Patients and method) We retrospectively reviewed 63 patients with unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma who were treated with platinum-based first-line systemic chemotherapy between January 2011 and April 2018. We evaluated the importance of the ALC in patients who underwent systematic chemotherapy. (Results) Thirty-eight patients (60%) died from urothelial carcinoma, with a median follow-up interval of 12.2 months. The median overall survival (OS) duration was 15.3 months. The mean ALC in the stable and progressive disease group was lower than that in the complete and partial response group (1,312 /μL and 1,666 /μL, respectively, p=0.004). The ALC of 1,460 /μL was determined as the cut-off on Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The log-rank test revealed that the lymphocytopenia group (ALC <1,460 /μL) showed significantly poorer prognoses than the non-lymphocytopenia group (p=0.001). Multivariate analyses showed that lymphocytopenia was an independent poor prognostic factor (hazard ratios of 3.46, p=0.002). (Conclusions) Pre-treatment low lymphocyte count is an independent poor prognostic factor in patients with urothelial carcinoma who underwent platinum-based first-line systemic chemotherapy.

- Abstract
A 34-year-old man presented with scrotal pain and slight fever. The scrotal pain was improved by the treatment of antibiotics, but the slight fever remained and an abdominal protuberance appeared. Computed tomography showed a 22 cm abdominal tumor with lipid density. He was then referred to our hospital. He was diagnosed as retroperitoneal liposarcoma and a surgical resection was performed for retroperitoneal tumor and surrounding organs. Histopathological diagnosis was dedifferentiated liposarcoma. 3 months after surgery, a PET/CT scan showed multiple lung metastases. We treated the patient with AI therapy by doxorubicin and ifosfamide. After 6 courses were performed, a complete response was achieved. 30months after the initial surgery, a PET/CT scan showed there was just one metastasis which was in the left lung. Thoracoscopic lung tumor resection was performed. Histopathological diagnosis was metastatic dedifferentiated liposarcoma. As adjuvant therapy, we treated with IE therapy by ifosfamide and VP-16. 3 courses were performed. 3 years and 6 months after the first surgery, he has had no recurrence up to the present day.

- Abstract
A 74-year-old man underwent transurethral resection for a bladder tumor (TURBT). The pathological diagnosis was urothelial carcinoma, grade 3 pT2 at least. He desired preservation of the bladder. Thus, MEC (methotrexate 100-150 mg/body (day 1), etoposide 100 mg/m2 (day 2-4), cisplatin 20 mg/m2 (day 2-6)) chemotherapy was administered for 2 courses. The next year, he had a relapse in the bladder, and the pathological diagnosiswasurothelial carcinoma, grade 2 pTa and pTis. He underwent Calmette-Guerin Bacillus (BCG) immunotherapy for 6 courses that resulted in a complete response without recurrence for 6 years. Six months after the latest examination, he complained of difficulty in voiding. An 8 cm tumor in the bladder and enlargement of obturator lymph node were detected. The pathological diagnosis by TURBT was small cell carcinoma. He rejected cystectomy, so we applied MEC therapy again. After 2 courses of MEC therapy, the bladder tumor and lymphadenopathy markedly shrunk in image and almost disappeared subsequently. The patient refused further therapy, but he had been followed without recurrence for 48 monthsafter the chemotherapy.

- Abstract
We report a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in bladder diverticulum producing granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF). A 59-year-old man complaining of hematuria and right hip pain was admitted with a large cancer in the bladder diverticulum. His laboratory data showed leukocytosis of 20,100/ μ l (neutrophils : 92%) with an elevated G-CSF of 76. 6 pg/ml in the peripheral blood. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin), radical cystectomy was performed to normalize serum leukocytosis and G-CSF. Histopathological diagnosis was G-CSF-producing SCC pT4N0. He appeared with left pelvic lymph node metastasis and right pulmonary metastasis 3 months after surgery. Therefore, he was treated with four courses of combination chemotherapy (paclitaxel, ifosfamide and nedaplatin) and radiation therapy at left pelvic lymph node metastasis. Computed tomography after these treatments showed complete response. The patient is alive with no evidence of tumor 16 months after surgery.

- Abstract
A 67-year-old female was hospitalized with back pain. Computed tomography (CT) incidentally revealed a tumor in her left kidney tumor (33 mm) and bilateral breast tumors. She underwent a breast biopsy and was diagnosed with breast cancer (invasive lobular cancer, cT2N0M0). The renal tumor was suspected to be clear cell carcinoma, cT1aN0M0, based on contrast-enhanced CT. Surgery was considered necessary for both the breast cancer and renal tumor. First, laparoscopic radical nephrectomy was performed for the renal tumor. However, the lateroconal fascia adhered strongly to the perirenal fat, and so simple nephrectomy was carried out after conversion to open surgery. The perirenal fat was also excised after the nephrectomy. A histopathological examination revealed clear cell carcinoma and renal invasion by invasive lobular cancer cells. Also, scattered metastases were detected in the perirenal fat and the lateroconal fascia. So, it was considered that retroperitoneal metastases from the breast cancer had directly invaded the kidney. After the operation, the patient received hormonal therapy for her breast cancer, and she was still alive and symptom-free 5 months after the operation.

- Abstract
Inverted papilloma of the bladder is an uncommon urothelial neoplasm. Although it is traditionally regarded as a benign tumor, there are conflicting data on multiplicity, reoccurrence rate, and association with urothelial carcinoma. From 2005 to 2011, 14 cases of inverted papilloma of the bladder were diagnosed at our hospital. Clinical features of 14 cases were summarized. These patients ranged in age from 25 to 81 years (mean, 61 years). The most frequently occurring symptom was gross hematuria. Eleven bladder tumors arose from the trigone or near the bladder neck. One case was associated with urothelial carcinoma. One was suspected to be a case of tumor recurrence. All other patients were free of tumor recurrence during the mean follow-up of 16.4 months (range, 0-75 months). This study does not suggest the malignant potential of inverted papilloma. However, since inverted papilloma may correlate with urothelial carcinoma. Post-treatment follow up for inverted papilloma should include cystoscopic follow up.

- Abstract
A 64-year-old man presented with gross hematuria. Physical examination showed a mass under the phimotic foreskin. Circumcision revealed a 2cm polypoid tumor on the inner layer of prepuce. Tumor resection was performed and pathological diagnosis was carcinosarcoma which was composed of squamous cell carcinoma and spindle cell sarcoma. Biopsy of the scar lesions revealed residual squamous cell carcinoma and computed tomographic scan revealed swollen inguinal lymph nodes. Partial penectomy and lymph node biopsy were performed. Pathological examination revealed residual squamous cell carcinoma and no lymph node metastasis. There was no recurrence for one year. We report this very rare case of carcinosarcoma of the penis.

- Abstract
We report a case of prolapse of a simple ureterocele presenting as perineural tumor. A 60-year-old woman presented with perineum pain and bleeding. A physical examination revealed a hard mass, 30 mm in diameter protruding from the external meatus. The computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and cystography showed an uncharacterized tumor. Endoscopic examination was performed. However, just before resection the mass collapsed spontaneously and turned out to be a prolapse of ureterocele. No transurethral incision was performed. Eleven months postoperatively, the patient has not developed vesicoureteral reflux or urinary tract infection. Physicians should consider prolapse of a simple ureterocele in the differential diagnosis of the female meatal tumor.

- Abstract
We report a case of verrucous carcinoma of the penis. A 62-year-old man, who presented with penile swelling and pain, was referred to our hospital. Although, penile tumor biopsy revealed no evidence of malignancy, the patient presented with penile swelling and discharge. The penis was surgically resected and urinary diversion was performed. The pathological examination of the resected glans revealed verrucous carcinoma of penis. Furthermore, in situ hybridization revealed human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. This clearly showed that the verrucous carcinoma of the penis resulted from the HPV infection. The patient has survived for 14 months after surgery without local recurrence or metastasis.

- Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of low-dose docetaxel, estramustine and dexamethasone combination chemotherapy in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC). Sixty-nine patients with HRPC were enrolled. Docetaxel was given at a dose of 25 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks, oral estramustine 280 mg twice daily on days 1 to 3 and 8 to 10, and oral dexamethasone 1 mg daily throughout the course. Cycles were repeated every 21 days. Treatment was continued until disease progression or excessive toxicity. Patients were evaluated for response and toxicity. Patients received a median of eleven cycles (range : 1-25). Prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) was decreased greater than 50% in 53 (77%) out of 69 patients and median duration of PSA response was 10.2 months. Median time to progression and overall survival 10.2 and 24 months, respectively. Grade 1-2 fatigue was the most common toxicity observed in 10 (15%) patients. Grade 3-4 toxicities were observed in five (7%) patients (2 thrombosis, 2 bilirubin elevation, and 1 aspartate transaminase/alanine transaminase elevation). Low-dose docetaxel, estramustine and dexamethasone combination chemotherapy is an effective and well tolerated treatment for Japanese HRPC patients.

- Abstract
A 19-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a complaint of residual feeling, frequency and pain on urination. Laboratory analysis revealed an elevated eosinophilia count in peripheral blood and white blood cell count in urine. Lymphocyte stimulation test of Chinese herb named "Seijoh-bohhuh-toh" showed a positive reaction. Bladder symptoms were improved after ceasing this Chinese herb. From these points, we considered that the Chinese herb might have caused eosinophilic cystitis. We report this rare case with a review of the literature.

- Abstract
Silodosin (URIEF), a new so-called 3rd generation alpha-1 blocker, is widely expected to be effective and useful for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), due to its high specificity to alpha-1A receptor. We evaluated the efficacy of Silodosin, on 187 males 50 years old or over with the diagnosis of BPH. Silodosin significantly improved the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and quality of life (QOL) score from the day after administration was started. Among 166 patients whose data were available for the analysis of efficacy of Silodosin, 77.5% showed apparent subjective improvement. Eighty three patients, who had been taking another alpha-1 blocker but without satisfactory effects, showed almost the same improvements in IPSS and QOL score after switching to Silodosin as the remaining 83 patients who had no preceding treatment with an alpha-1 blocker. The improvements were not only in voiding symptoms but also in storage symptoms. The patients, who had serious storage symptoms, responded rather well to Silodosin and showed significant improvement. Taken together, Silodosin showed a quick effect for improving subjective symptoms and QOL, and was found to be useful for the management of LUTS with BPH.

- Abstract
We report 2 cases of metanephric adenoma a rare form of adenoma. One case occurred in a 54-year-old male preoperatively diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma who underwent left partial nephrectomy for a tumor 2 cm in size. Histology revealed a tumor with papillotubular structures consisting of small, uniform tumor cells. In immunohistochemical staining, tumor cells were positive for CD57 and WT-1. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with metanephric adenoma. The other case occurred in a 40-year-old male who underwent left nephroureterectomy for carcinoma of the renal pelvis. Carcinoma of the left renal pelvis was diagnosed as pT3N0M0. Incidental micronodules 2 mm in size and consisting of immature tubular structures were noted in the renal cortex. In immunohistochemical staining, tumor cells were positive for CD57 and WT-1, and the patient was diagnosed with metanephric adenoma. The aforementioned tumors frequently occur in middle-aged women and are often well-defined tumors that project from the renal surface outwards. On angiography, they have a hypovascular pattern and resemble papillary renal carcinoma. Preoperative differentiation of renal cell carcinoma and nephroblastoma is difficult. Mistaking such tumors for malignant tumors and subjecting patients to unnecessary adjuvant therapy must be avoided.

- Abstract
Out of 132 prostate cancer (Pca) patients who underwent radical prostatectomy 31 (mean age 65 +/- 5 years) had prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels of 4.0 ng/ml or less (low PSA group). The average PSA level was 3.3 +/- 0.5 ng/ml in the low PSA group and 8.5 +/- 5.5 ng/ml in patients with a higher PSA (high PSA group). The pT2 ratio of the radical prostatectomy specimens was 74% (23/31) in the low PSA group and 55% (55/101) in the high PSA group, pT3a was 16% (5/31) and 31% (31/101), pT3b was 10% (3/31) and 10% (10/101), pN1 was 0% and 5% (5/101), respectively. The digital rectal examination (DRE) gave a positive result significantly (p = 0.026) less frequently in the low PSA group (6/31 : 20%), than in the high PSA group (44/101 : 44%). However all three pT3b patients with a low PSA were positive in DRE. This suggests the importance of DRE to detect significant Pca with PSA < or = 4.0. PSA was measured at least three times for more than one year in 19 of the 31 patients with a low PSA level before diagnosis. In 14 of these 19 cases (74%), PSA velocity was more than 0.5 ng/ml/ year and PSA doubling time was less than 4 years. Some patients with significant Pca can not be detected with a PSA cutoff level at 4.0 ng/ml. We recommend that individuals have their own PSA levels, and that long-term changes of PSA are sometimes very important to detect cases of Pca with lower PSA.

- Abstract
A 62-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of asymptomatic gross hematuria. Right radical Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated an 8 cm mass in the right kidney. nephrectomy was done in March 1995, and the pathological examination revealed renal cell carcinoma (RCC), clear cell type, G2>G1. Interferon (IFN)-alpha was administered for 10 months. About 3 years later, in March 1998, CT showed 1 cm mass in the left kidney. Left partial nephrectomy was done and the pathological finding was RCC, G1. IFN-alpha2b was administered for a year. About 2 years later, CT showed 2.7 cm mass in the left lung. Left upper lobectomy was performed in August 2000, and it was a metastasis of RCC, G2. IFN-alpha and IFN-gamma were administered. Nine months later, in June 2001, the recurrence of the left kidney and the left adrenal gland was found and partial nephrectomy and adrenalectomy was performed. Pathological finding was RCC, G3. IFN-alpha and tegafur-uracil (UFT) were administered. Only 3 months later, recurrence of the left kidney and the left adrenal gland and the lymph node of renal hilus was found. We gave up for surgical resection and chemotherapy of MVP (Methotrexate, Vinblastine, Pepleomycin) was performed. Despite the therapy, disease progressed. 10 months after the last recurrence, in July 2002, patient became disoriented and hypercalcemia and the MVP therapy was stopped. After that, medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and UFT were administered; the patient lived 20 months with relatively good performance status and died in February 2004. MPA might be considered as a drug for advanced renal cell carcinoma.

- Abstract
A 66-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of a high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (6.9 ng/ml) and dysuria. Prostatic needle biopsies revealed no malignancy in January 1998 and February 1999 (PSA 8.0 ng/ml). Transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) was performed in March 1999. Although none of the TURP specimen showed any malignancy, the PSA level remained high (3.7 ng/ml 1 year after the TURP), and gradually increased. About 3 years later, re-biopsy was done (PSA 13.2 ng/ml) and pathological finding was moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma (Gleason score 3 + 3 = 6). After 9-month MAB, radical prostatectomy (RP) was performed in January 2003 (PSA 4.2 ng/ml). Though the RP specimen showed moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with negative capsule penetration and negative surgical margins, PSA decreased to 2.5 ng/ml and gradually increased. Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone scintigraphy showed neither distant metastasis nor local recurrence. Review of the RP specimen revealed ductal carcinoma with positive capsular penetration and suspicion of positive surgical margins. Although the patient was treated with maximum androgen blockade, diethylstilbestrol diphosphate, and tegafururacil, PSA gradually increased and was kept at a high level (5-6 ng/ml). In December 2005, the patient complained of anal pain and MRI showed a 4.8 x 2.3 cm tumor in the prostatic bed. Needle biopsy of the tumor revealed ductal carcinoma (PSA 6.39 ng/ml). In January 2006 (PSA 11.9 ng/ml), we initiated a treatment with 66 Gy of intensity modulated radiation therapy. In November 2006, PSA decreased to 0.279 ng/ml, and the tumor reduced (3.8 x 1.0 cm) on MRI.

- Abstract
Autoimmune thyroid disease is the result of a common side-effect of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) used to treat viral hepatitis C; but there have been few reports on thyroid disorders induced by IFN-a that was used to treat renal cell carcinoma. IFN-alpha therapy was conducted on two male patients, 75 and 44 years old, after radical nephrectomy. Six and five months, respectively, after this therapy, they complained of weight loss. Laboratory evaluation revealed hyperthyroidism; the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level fell below normal; and the serum free T3 and T4 levels increased above normal values. Two months after the termination of IFN-alpha therapy, their thyroid hormone levels returned to normal without the help of antithyroid agents. In observational studies, thyroid dysfunction has been reported in 0.6 to 30% of the patients who had been treated with IFN-alpha. Careful observation is necessary to watch for the possible development of thyroid disorder during IFN-alpha therapy for renal cell carcinoma.

- Abstract
Heterotropic splenic tissue in renal fossa is characteristically asymptomatic and is usually an incidental finding that has been reported to mimic renal or adrenal tumors. A 55-year-old man with renal cell carcinoma had undergone radical nephrectomy together with splenectomy because of disrupture of the splenic capsule. During a follow-up examination, three nodules were detected by computed tomography scan in the splenorenal area and they slowly enlarged. Although local recurrence was highly suspected, we decided to rule out splenosis. We successfully diagnosed these masses as ectopic splenic tissues by a technetium sulfur colloid scan and unnecessary surgical exploration was avoided.

- Abstract
A 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital presenting with urinary retention. Ultrasonography revealed bilateral hydronephrosis and magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis showed diffuse thickening of the bladder wall. The hydronephrosis was improved by urethral balloon catheter. A cystoscopic examination revealed papillary lesions, polypoid yellow lesions and gross mucosal edema in the whole bladder. Pathological examination of transurethral punch biopsy showed no malignancy but inflammatory infiltration in the submucosa of bladder wall with many eosinophils. She performed clean intermittent self-catheterization and was treated with corticosteroids and antihistaminics. Three months after diagnosis, conservative treatment resulted in an excellent relief of symptoms, decrement of residual urine and remission of the bladder lesions in cystoscopy. In women with urinary retention, eosinophilic cystitis (EC) must be considered in the differential diagnosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of EC presenting with urinary retention reported in the Japanese literature.

- Abstract
In August 2000, a 62-year-old woman presented to another municipal hospital with macroscopic Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-Bt) was performed. The pathological hematuria. diagnosis was transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), G2 > squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). TUR-Bt repeated in July 2003 indicated recurrence. The pathological diagnosis was TCC, G2. She was referred to our hospital in August 2003 because she desired bladder preservation. After cystoscopy and random biopsy, pathological diagnosis was TCC with squamous differentiation, G1-G2, pTis. She received 7 weekly intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) instillations. In April 2004, TUR-Bt was repeated and multiple recurrences were found. The pathological diagnosis was TCC with squamous differentiation, G1-G2, pTa. She received 10 weekly intravesical Pirarubicin hydrochroride instillations. In August cystoscopy and random biopsy were performed for evaluation of the intavesical instillation treatment. Pathological diagnosis was atypical squamous cells. In November, cystoscopy revealed recurrence of a bladder tumor. After admission, a small papillary tumor and multiple flat lesion biopsies demonstrated SCC without obvious invasion. The patient underwent cystectomy. There were widespread areas of full thickness squamous atypia. Most of the bladder did not show appearance of typical TCC, but the final pathological diagnosis was TCC because the case developed from TCC and could not be diagnosed as pure SCC. The diagnosis of SCC in situ of bladder is difficult, and this may contribute to its rarity.

- Abstract
Purpose: We investigated prostate cancer (ca.) development after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP)., Patients and Methods: From 1995 to 2003, 430 patients (pts.) received TURP at Toshiba Rinkan Hospital. Of them, 23 pts. (5.3%) had incidental carcinoma (Stage A), which developed into clinically significant ca. after 1 to 5 years in 5 (22% of Stage A, 1.2% of TURP). In 13 (3.2%) of 407 Non-Stage A pts. (who had no ca. initially), prostate ca. developed after 1 to 7 yrs. A total of 21 pts. (including 3 Stage A pts. diagnosed before 1994) underwent radical prostatectomy. Stage A pts. received regular needle biopsy of prostate (Pbx). Non-Stage A pts. were followed by yearly PSA measurement and digital rectal examination (DRE). Detailed histopathological studies were done on 21 radical prostatectomy specimens., Results: Clinically significant ca. developed in 8 Stage A pts. (all A2) after 1 to 14 yrs. Long term (5 or 10 years) MAB therapy changed moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma (AC) to poorly-differentiated AC in 2 pts. during follow-up. When ca. developed PSA increased in only 3 of them, DRE was positive just in 1 pt. Tumor invasion was observed mainly in transition zone (TZ), especially anterior to urethra. In spite of no capsular penetration, surgical margin was positive in 2 pts. PSA failure occurred in another 2 pts. Thirteen Non-Stage A pts. showed aggressive ca. (6 moderately-differentiated AC, 6 poorly-differentiated AC, and 1 ductal carcinoma which showed metastasis later), most of which invaded widely in peripheral zone (PZ). Pbx before TURP was done to reveal that there was no cancer in 11 pts. Capsular penetration was seen in 4 pts. Surgical margin was positive in 4 pts. PSA (8.6 +/- 4.0 ng/ml) decreased after TURP but was kept in high level (4.8 +/- 2.2 ng/ml) after 1 year and increased (8.7 +/- 4.5) when cancer was diagnosed in all 13 pts. DRE was positive in 38% of them. Interval between TURP and diagnosis was short in pts. who had cancer of high Gleason Score (GS) or large prostate., Conclusions: As significant cancer developed in 22% of Stage A pts. (1.2% of TURP) in long term follow-up, regular Pbx (to get TZ tissue) is mandatory regardless of PSA value or DRE. Aggressive cancer developed in 3.2% of Non-Stage A pts. (3.0% of TURP). Pts. with high PSA or abnormal DRE after TURP must receive needle biopsy actively. Considering that more than 4% of TURP pts. eventually require radical prostatectomy, relatively younger pts. who received TURP have to be carefully followed for a long period.

- Abstract
A 46-year-old man complained of lower abdominal pain, and his abdominal and pelvic computed tomographic scan revealed left hydronephrosis and a huge tumor (9 X 9 cm) in the left distal ureter involving the left iliac vessel that was considered unresectable. Histological diagnosis showed squamous cell carcinoma, and histoculture drug response assay (HDRA) suggested the effectiveness of gemcitabine and nedaplatin. A cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of MEC (methotrexate 30 mg/ m2: day 1 and 15, epirubicin 50 mg/m2: day 1, and cisplatin 50 mg/m2: day 2 and 3) was performed as a first line chemotherapy, but the size of the ureteral tumor did not change. He was treated with 3 cycles of systematic combination chemotherapy consisting of gemcitabine (1,000 mg/m2: day 1 and 8) and nedaplatin (80 mg/m2: day 1). After 2 courses of chemotherapy, the tumor size was reduced by 50% (PR; RECIST guidelines) and the tumor markers (SCC, CYFRA, NSE, CEA, and CA19-9) dropped to within the normal range. There were no serious adverse events except for grade 3 neutropenia which spontaneously recovered. However, because the tumor size was not reduced after the third cycle of chemotherapy, we applied external beam radiation to the primary lesion and the metastatic retroperitoneal lymph node site. No evidence of residual tumor progression has been found for 6 months after radiation therapy. We concluded that GN chemotherapy may be useful for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter.
