There are many reports of this in lymphoma patients but few in urological cancer patients. A 59-year-old woman with bladder cancer who was an HBV carrier developed severe liver dysfunction after 2 cycles of chemotherapy. The diagnosis was reactivation of hepatitis. She improved with administration of lamivudine with a steroid and is currently well without disease. Care should be taken about the risk of reactivation when performing chemotherapy in HBV carriers and prophylaxis by lamivudine should be considered.Springer NetherlandsJournal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/28261https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/28261/1/IUN39-2.pdf0301-16231573-2584International Urology and Nephrology3924614632007-06enginfo:pmid/17171423info:doi/10.1007/s11255-006-9006-8The original publication is available at www.springerlink.comauthor
