You can cast after first response, look :

var postUri = Uri.parse("http://my-api.com/updatePhoto");
var request = new http.MultipartRequest("POST", postUri);

request.fields['user_id'] = user_id

request.files.add(await http.MultipartFile.fromPath(
  'photo',
  myPhoto.absolute.path,
  contentType: new MediaType('application', 'x-tar'),
));

request.send().then((result) async {

  http.Response.fromStream(result)
      .then((response) {

    if (response.statusCode == 200)
    {
      print("Uploaded! ");
      print('response.body '+response.body);
    }

    return response.body;

  });
}).catchError((err) => print('error : '+err.toString()))
    .whenComplete(()
{});
