Abstract
- A 67-year-old female was diagnosed with Stage Ⅳ rectal cancer with paraaortic lymph node metastasis. The patient underwent Hartmann's operation with D3 lymph node and paraaortic lymph node dissection. Postoperative chemotherapy with FOLFIRI was then administered for 1 year. However, liver metastasis developed, for which partial hepatectomy was performed. Postoperative chemotherapy with S-1(20 courses)was then administered. Three years and 11 months following the first operation, lymph node metastases developed and resection of lymph nodes(No. 12p, No. 16b1int)was performed. Postoperative chemotherapy with capecitabine(Cape)(8 courses)was then administered. Five years and 7 months following the first operation, Virchow lymph node metastasis developed. Despite chemotherapy with Cape and bevacizumab (Bmab), Virchow lymph node swelling recurred, and resection was performed. Nine years and 4 months following the first operation, lymph node metastases developed, and resection of lymph nodes(Virchow, No. 16b1int)was performed. Postoperative chemotherapy with S-1(8 courses)was then administered. At present, 11 years and 4 months after the first operation, the patient, whose chemotherapy has been discontinued, is alive without recurrence.
