Abstract
Brain metastases from bladder cancer are rare, with a poor prognosis. There is no standard treatment for bladder cancer with brain metastases; thus, palliative therapy is generally provided. We report a case of abscopal effect in a single brain metastasis from bladder cancer in a patient treated with focal stereotactic radiotherapy (total dose = 52 Gy, administered in eight fractions) with immune checkpoint blockade therapy for lung metastases, who achieved long-term disease-free survival (> 4 years). To our knowledge, although there have been some reports on abscopal effects in bladder cancer, there are no previous reports on patients with brain metastases. To date, the brain metastasis, which showed an "abscopal effect," continues to maintain complete regression.
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).
