[A case of left urothelial carcinoma with multiple bone metastasis, liver metastasis and right adrenal metastasis successfully treated with combination chemotherapy of gemcitabine and carboplatin].

: The patient was a 53-year-old male. He had been admitted to another hospital with a complaint of left sciatica. He was referred to our hospital for further examination and therapy. He was diagnosed as left urothelial carcinoma with multiple bone metastasis, liver metastasis and right adrenal metastasis. He was treated with combination chemotherapy of gemcitabine and carboplatin (1,000 mg/m2 day 1 and AUC 2 day 1, respectively) biweekly. After the ninth course, a significant tumor reduction was obtained, and has been maintained. He has been treated on an outpatient basis because of no grade 3 or severer adverse reactions. We report an effective case of biweekly chemotherapy with gemcitabine and carboplatin in the treatment of advanced urothelial carcinoma.
