ABSTRACT
We have experienced and report here a case of postoperative recurrence of colon cancer with metastases in the liver and the periaortic lymph nodes, where we attained CR through combination therapy with bevacizumab+mFOLFOX6. The patient was a male aged 65. He had already had cecal cancer, metastasis in the para-aortic lymph nodes, and multiple hepatic metastases. The surgery involved right colon resection+partial hepatectomy as well as dissection of the para-aortic and the superior mesenteric lymph nodes. The postoperative stage was SSN3H1P0M1 (#216)-pStage IV. S-1+CPT-11 was chosen as an adjuvant therapy. The para-aortic lymph nodes at the level of renal hilus were found enlarged after 17 courses of the therapy. Hence bevacizumab+mFOLFOX6 was chosen for the first-line treatment. After 14 courses of the therapy, CR was proved on the RECIST standard. On continued chemotherapy, CR has been maintained at present, 2 years and 11 months after the surgery or 10 months after confirmation of CR.
