Long‐Term Survival Obtained by Repeated Cytoreductive Surgery and S‐1 Plus Cisplatin Chemotherapy at Each Instance of Disease Progression in a Patient With Metastatic Urachal Carcinoma: A Case Report
Not only some degree of sensitivity of the tumor to chemotherapy, but also the repeated cytoreductive surgeries might allow prolonged survival with a good quality of life in elderly patients with metastatic URC, even in the absence of cure and failure of genetic testing to suggest any potentially effective second-line drugs. To improve the survival of patients with metastatic URC, complementary therapy suggested by the results of genomic profiling may be necessary along with other multimodality therapy, including sequential metastasectomy and chemotherapy.
