[Case report of a patient with invading bladder cancer and lymph node swelling which decreased following 5'-DFUR treatment].

ABSTRACT

We report a 75-year-old man with invading bladder cancer and enlarged lymph nodes, which decreased following 5'-DFUR treatment. A postoperative abdominal CT showed lymph node swelling around the great vessels. The patient refused aggressive chemotherapy, so he was given a 5-FU derivative, 5'-DFUR, 800 mg/day orally. The enlarged lymph node had decreased in size by the 22nd day after the treatment, and the patient has maintained a near CR.
