The patient underwent radical nephroureterectomy followed by chemotherapy with gemcitabine/ carboplatin and inorelbine/Adriamycin (ADM)/5-fluoro-2,4 (1 h, 3 h) pyrimidinedione (5-FU) and radiotherapy, and the level of CA19-9 decreased to normal. Histopathology revealed adenocarcinoma. The patient died of tumor pelvic metastasis after 6 months. A review of the literature is also reported. .. Read More»
