Abstract

A 50s man receiving dialysis for chronic kidney disease due to IgA nephropathy underwent laparoscopic reversal via Hartmann 's procedure for rectal cancer and multiple liver metastases, followed by chemotherapy for the liver metastases. Following a single course of mFOLFOX therapy, bevacizumab was administered for 8 courses, resulting in tumor shrinkage and a decrease in tumor marker levels. The initial doses were 60mg/m2 oxaliplatin and 280(bolus injection)and 1,680mg/m2 (continuous infusion)of 5-FU. Subsequently, these doses were adjusted to be administered every 3 weeks. No serious adverse events other than neutropenia(Grade3 ), anorexia(Grade1 ), and hiccups(Grade1)were noted.
