Popis: Background/aim Standard chemotherapy for advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) patients with moderate renal dysfunction has not yet been established. Patients and methods We retrospectively assessed outcomes of patients with advanced UC who underwent first-line chemotherapy with full-/reduced-dose gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC-f/GC-r) or full-/reduced-dose gemcitabine plus carboplatin (G-Car-f/G-Car-r) according to renal function. Results Seventy-eight patients were included in this study. The objective response rate was 42%, 30%, 42%, and 27% for the GC-f, GC-r, G-Car-f, and G-Car-r groups, respectively. For the GC-r and G-Car-f groups, the median progression-free survival and the median overall survival was 4.5 vs. 7.0 months (p=0.07) and 7.5 months vs. 12.0 months (p=0.124), respectively. Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia occurred more frequently in the GC-r group than the G-Car-f group (80% vs. 38%, p=0.021). Conclusion G-Car-f could be more beneficial than GC-r for patients with advanced UC who have moderate renal dysfunction.
