ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 66 years old woman with histological diagnosis of muscle-invasive high grade transitional cell carcinoma and clinical diagnosis (TC) of metastatic disease treated with a platinum based combination chemotherapy obtaining a pathologic complete response. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for bladder cancer even with its limitations regarding patients selection, current development of surgical technique and current chemotherapy combination has shown to improve overall survival by 5-7% at 5 years and should be considered in muscle invasive bladder cancer, irrespective of definitive treatment.
