title: Complete response of a transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis to leucovorin/5 fluorouracil chemotherapy.
abstract: A 56-year-old female underwent treatment with leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil for extensive metastatic moderately differentiated transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the renal pelvis. This resulted in a complete response for 20+ months. This combination has not been reported before in TCCs of the urinary tract and requires further exploration.
