Abstract
We report on a 38-year-old male diagnosed with biopsy-proven bladder urothelial carcinoma metastatic to the bone, who had a complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin and gemcitabine. The final pathology of his radical cystoprostatectomy revealed no residual cancer. The patient continues to be without evidence of disease 2 years postoperatively. This case shows that neoadjuvant chemotherapy with nonstandard regimens can yield responses in patients with bone metastases.
