Long-term Disease-free Survival after Hepatic Metastasectomy for Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder represents a significant health burden globally. Patients who present with or develop metastatic disease experience poor overall survival even with salvage chemotherapy. Metastasectomy has shown promise in prolonging survival and even cure in patients with pulmonary and lymph node metastasis. We describe the second patient in the available literature who underwent liver resection for a solitary liver metastasis after cystectomy with disease-free survival at 64 months and present a review of the existing literature describing metastasectomy.
