Enfortumab Vedotin (EV), an antibody-drug conjugate targeting Nectin-4, combined with pembrolizumab (Pem), has become a first-line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC). However, the concurrent use of EV + Pem with radiotherapy (RT) remains underexplored. We report the case of a 74-year-old man with a history of robot-assisted radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. Nine months post-cystectomy, the patient presented with a symptomatic calcified recurrence in the left obturator internus muscle, causing left leg numbness. The patient underwent concurrent EV + Pem therapy and RT (50 Gy in 25 fractions). Treatment was well-tolerated, with only grade 2 alopecia, grade 2 dysgeusia, and grade 1 pruritus observed. Notably, the leg numbness resolved completely by the end of RT, and imaging revealed substantial tumor shrinkage with residual calcification after two cycles of EV + Pem. This case demonstrates that concurrent administration of RT with EV + Pem can achieve significant tumor reduction and symptomatic relief without severe toxicities in la/mUC. This approach may provide a promising therapeutic strategy for managing symptomatic, radiotherapy-accessible lesions in la/mUC, warranting further investigation.
恩沃利单抗(EV)是一种靶向Nectin-4的抗体药物偶联物,与帕博利珠单抗(Pem)联合使用,已成为局部晚期或转移性尿路上皮癌(la/mUC)的一线治疗方案。然而,EV+Pem与放疗(RT)同时使用的情况仍未得到充分研究。我们报告了一例74岁男性患者,有机器人辅助根治性膀胱切除术治疗肌层浸润性膀胱癌的病史。膀胱切除术后9个月,患者出现左侧闭孔内肌有症状的钙化复发,导致左腿麻木。患者接受了EV+Pem同步治疗和放疗(25次分割,共50 Gy)。治疗耐受性良好,仅观察到2级脱发、2级味觉障碍和1级瘙痒。值得注意的是,放疗结束时腿部麻木完全缓解,影像学显示在两个周期的EV+Pem治疗后肿瘤明显缩小,仍有残留钙化。该病例表明,在la/mUC中,RT与EV+Pem同时给药可显著缩小肿瘤并缓解症状,且无严重毒性。这种方法可能为处理la/mUC中有症状、可进行放疗的病灶提供一种有前景的治疗策略,值得进一步研究。
