A case of adenocarcinoma of the renal pelvis

Hinyokika Kiyo. 1990 Jul;36(7):841-5.

Abstract

A 28-year-old female had adenocarcinoma arising from the renal pelvis with ascites containing adenocarcinoma cells. The primary site was treated with radical nephrectomy, resection of the remnant ureter with a bladder cuff. Combination chemotherapy with cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (CAP) was performed as an adjuvant therapy. Approximately 3 years after the nephrectomy, she is currently alive with no clinical evidence of recurrence. CAP seems to have been effective in the treatment of the disease.
