Abstract
Background: Malignant glomus tumors (MGTs) are rare malignancies, which grow rapidly and are aggressive. Surgical resection has been regarded as the standard management, but treatment options for those unresectable tumors are limited, resulting in a high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Case Description: An 85-year-old man presented with gross hematuria and was diagnosed with MGTs of bladder. The patient achieved long-term local control after multimodal therapy comprising radiotherapy, iodine-125 seeds brachytherapy, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, and antiangiogenic targeted therapy. Conclusion: MGTs occurring in the bladder are clinically rare and refractory. The case presented here highlights the importance of multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment, providing evidence that radiotherapy and antiangiogenic therapy may play an important role in unresectable bladder MGT.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals is the established peer-reviewed journal, with over 25 years of cutting-edge content on innovative therapeutic investigations to ultimately improve cancer management. It is the only journal with the specific focus of cancer biotherapy and is inclusive of monoclonal antibodies, cytokine therapy, cancer gene therapy, cell-based therapies, and other forms of immunotherapies.
The Journal includes extensive reporting on advancements in radioimmunotherapy, and the use of radiopharmaceuticals and radiolabeled peptides for the development of new cancer treatments.
