| Summary: | The management of metastatic urothelial cancer is rapidly evolving since immune checkpoint inhibitors were introduced. We present the case of a patient with metastatic upper tract urothelial cancer who had a complete response to durvalumab and tremelimumab. This patient then developed multiple non-invasive papillary bladder tumours. Next-generation sequencing revealed that the tumours shared ancestry with the upper tract cancer, although there were key differences, most notably the presence of a TP53 missense mutation in the upper tract disease that was absent in the bladder tumours. This illustrates an important practice point in the management of exceptional responders to checkpoint inhibitors.
