Abstract

Case1: A 63-year-old woman with diarrhea and hematochezia was diagnosed as having rectal cancer invading the pelvis. Six courses of the 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin( mFOLFOX6) plus panitumumab regimen were administered after sigmoid colostomy, following which low anterior resection was performed. Since the 6 courses of mFOLFOX6 were administered postoperatively, no evidence of recurrence has been observed for 18 months. Case2: A 52-year-old man with high fever and abdominal pain was diagnosed as having rectal cancer invading the bladder with a vesicorectal fistula. After transverse colostomy and 6 courses of mFOLFOX6 plus panitumumab, high anterior resection with partial cystectomy was performed. Since the 8 courses of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (XELOX) were administered postoperatively, no evidence of recurrence has been observed for 12 months. Although no consensus has been reached pertaining to the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the treatment of colorectal cancer, we could, in this study, demonstrate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with panitumumab for the treatment of locally advanced colorectal cancer.
