Chemotherapy sequential disitamab vedotin in combination with tislelizumab as systemic therapy of upper tract urothelial carcinoma with cutaneous metastasis: A case report and literature review

Cutaneous metastasis in UTUC is rare and portends a poor prognosis. Radical surgery combined with systemic therapy remains the cornerstone of care. In this case, disitamab vedotin plus tislelizumab, used as a postoperative sequential systemic regimen, demonstrated favorable safety and achieved a 24-month recurrence-free interval after discontinuation of gemcitabine/cisplatin due to intolerance, with manageable adverse effects. This combination may represent a potential treatment option for metastatic UTUC, although its efficacy requires validation in larger cohorts.

Abstract

Cutaneous metastasis in UTUC is rare and portends a poor prognosis. Radical surgery combined with systemic therapy remains the cornerstone of care. In this case, disitamab vedotin plus tislelizumab, used as a postoperative sequential systemic regimen, demonstrated favorable safety and achieved a 24-month recurrence-free interval after discontinuation of gemcitabine/cisplatin due to intolerance, with manageable adverse effects. This combination may represent a potential treatment option for metastatic UTUC, although its efficacy requires validation in larger cohorts.
