Abstract
We performed a laparoscopic left nephroureterectomy for a patient with primary malignant melanoma of the left ureter. Four months after the surgery, bladder metastasis was observed, and the patient underwent radical cystectomy and cutaneous ureterostomy with pelvic lymph node dissection. One month after the surgery, intra-abdominal lymph node metastasis and pelvic seeding appeared, and the patient received three courses of nivolumab, but the disease progressed. The patient died 10 months after the initial diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
This online-only journal publishes original case reports on all types of cancer. In particular, we welcome not only case reports of educational value in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers, but also reports on molecularly analyzed cancer cases, including gene mutations, gene fusions, gene expression, and changes in copy number, regardless of their known clinical significance. Assessing the molecular analysis of a tumor usually requires a “cancer conference” in which experts from various fields discuss it. Even if the authors and their respective “cancer conference” were unable to determine the clinical significance of molecular changes at the time of submission and publication, their data may provide evidence that will help the scientific community develop precision medicine solutions in the future. We welcome case reports with reviews of the literature on similar cases, as they are more useful and valuable to readers than are reports of rare cases. International Cancer Conference Journal is the official publication of the Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO).
