RESUMO
A 66-year-old male diagnosed with transverse colon cancer was admitted to our hospital. Computed tomography, colonoscopy, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed locally advanced cancer with invasion of the gastric antrum. We staged the disease as cT4a, cN2, cM0, Stage â ¢B, with wild-type RAS expression. We performed an ileostomy prior to administering chemotherapy. The patient received 4 courses of modified FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab and 2 courses of FOLFIRI. The size of the tumor noticeably decreased after chemotherapy. The patient experienced grade 3 neutropenia, anorexia, and oral mucositis during chemotherapy. We performed a right hemicolectomy(D3), partial gastrectomy and ileum resection after administering neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The pathological stage of the disease was ypT2, ypN0, ypM0, ypStageâ , and the effect of the chemotherapy was Grade 1b. After the resection, he received mFOLFOX6 and CapeOX for 3 months as adjuvant chemotherapy. He remained cancer-free for 1 year and 3 months after the surgery. This result suggests that preoperative modified FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab chemotherapy is a useful regimen for the treatment of locally advanced colon cancer.
