Core Tip
Core Tip: Eighty percent of patients with positive programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression are unable to benefit from immunotherapy. Herein, we report the case of a 74-year-old male patient with recurrent metastatic bladder cancer, which demonstrated positive PD-L1 expression and high tumor mutational burden. The immune checkpoint inhibitor camrelizumab was administered to the patient in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin. The patient achieved a partial response with a progression-free survival of 11 mo. More effective predictors of bladder cancer immunotherapy have yet to be explored, and the combination of multiple factors may be more predictive than a single factor.
