title: [A case of advanced primary ureteral squamous cell carcinoma responding to combination chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil].
abstract: A 63-year-old female with left ureteral tumor metastasizing to the left iliac lymph node was treated with left total nephroureterectomy. The histopathological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma of the ureter, G1 INF beta, pT2, pR0, pV1 and pL0. Three cycles of chemotherapy were performed postoperatively with cis platin and 5-fluorouracil. A major response was obtained (tumor regression rate, 57%). She received 60 Gy radiotherapy to the left iliac region postchemotherapy (postradiotherapy tumor regression rate, 74%). No evidence of the tumor relapse was found 7 months after irradiation.
