Abstract

Among patients undergoing radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, local and distant recurrence is the main reason for cancer-related deaths. In case of adrenal location of metachronous metastases, the standard treatment consists on cisplatin-based systemic chemotherapy. While surgical removal of metastasis remains controversial approach, more and more data support such treatment as effective and safe. We report two cases of patients submitted to laparoscopic adrenalectomy as a sole treatment mode due to metachronous metastases of bladder cancer. No adjuvant systemic therapy was implemented. After a follow-up of 12 months patients remain disease free. This report is another voice in the on-going debate on the role of surgical treatment of patients with metastatic bladder cancer.
