Abstract
- A 52-year-old man underwent ileocecal resection for cecal cancer, followed by left hepatectomy and S6 partial resection for liver metastasis. A month later, abdominal computed tomography revealed metastases in the mediastinal lymph nodes, para-aortic lymph nodes, and left adrenal gland. After 4 courses of the capecitabine plus oxaliplatin(CapeOX) regimen and 4 courses of CapeOX plus bevacizumab, a complete response was observed regarding the lymph nodes metastasis. Then, left adrenalectomy was performed for the residual left adrenal metastasis. CapeOX plus bevacizumab was administered as a postoperative chemotherapy for 8 courses, Capecitabine was started due to adverse reactions, such as peripheral neuropathy (grade 2) and a gastric ulcer. After the gastric ulcer healed, capecitabine plus bevacizumab was administered for 5 courses. The patient has had no recurrence for almost 2 years since the resection of the adrenal metastasis.
