Abstract
Urothelial cancer occupies a significant place in the routine practice of cancer treatment. Systemic antitumor treatment of patients with metastatic urothelial cancer in the first line is currently well studied, has its own standards, implemented in clinical practice. However, the problem of choosing antitumor treatment for patients with metastatic urothelial cancer in the second line remains relevant. Vinflunine is one of the treatment options for such patients. This article presents the case of successful treatment of metastatic urothelial cancer in the second line with vinflunine. A 63-year-old patient with a diagnosis of C65 Urothelial cancer of the pelvis of the left kidney T3N0M1, stage IV, bone metastases. Condition after cytoreductive left-sided nephrectomy, para-aortic lymphadenectomy from 04/16/2021. Concomitant pathology: Anemia. Diabetes mellitus type 2 Hypertonic disease. As the 1st line of treatment, 6 courses of CT were performed according to the scheme: Cisplatin + Gemcitabine. The effect was evaluated according to MSCT data of 3 zones and bone scintigraphy in accordance with Recist 1.1. The best response was obtained after the 4th cycle in August 2021 in the form of stabilization. October 2021 follow-up examination revealed progression. Since October 2021, chemotherapy of the 2nd line with Vinflunin is carried out in mono mode. All AEs are well controlled and do not require discontinuation of the drug. According to the results of the control examination, stabilization was achieved. Thereby vinflunine has been shown to be effective as a second-line treatment for platinum-resistant recurrent urothelial cancer.
