Abstract
We treated a 73-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma of the duodenum. She complained of poor appetite and weight loss. Upon close inspection, we diagnosed duodenal cancer with obstructive jaundice. Curative resection could not be performed because of swelling of the para-aortic lymph nodes. Chemotherapy using mFOLFOX6 was performed, and she survived.
