[A case of advanced ureteral squamous cell carcinoma showing complete response to combination chemotherapy with cisplatinum, vindesine, and bleomycin].
A 56-year-old Japanese female was diagnosed as advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the left ureter, stage IV (T4N0M0), and treated with anti-cancer drugs using cis-platinum, vindesine, and bleomycin. The tumor vanished after the treatment. The specimen after left total nephroureterectomy and hysterectomy showed only granulomatous change with necrosis and foreign giant cells but not cancer cells.
