Abstract

The patient was 75-year-old male, he has been diagnosed as ascending colon cancer resected by rt. hemicolectomy in September 2010. Final diagnosis was tub2, T4b, N1, Cy1, M0, pStage Ⅲc. Despite adjuvant chemotherapy, a lung metastasis was found in April 2012, and it was treated by thoracoscopic partial lung resection. In July 2012, pelvic lymph node recurrence was found, and treated by radiation therapy. In August 2013, right testicular metastasis was resected. After 2 years chemotherapy free intervals, it was resumed by S-1→irinotecan(CPT-11)→regorafenib due to peritoneal disseminations. In July 2016, transverse colostomy was performed due to obstruction caused by peritoneal dissemination. Although, chemotherapy was continued after surgery by trifluridine plus bevacizumab(Bev)→CPT-11, recurrent tumor in rt spermatic cord was enlarged, which resected to reduce its pain. While continuing chemotherapy with CPT-11 plus Bev, rapid growth of peritoneal disseminated tumor with its rapture has induced peritonitis and sepsis, so it was forced to be resected by involving rectum, ileum, and ureter in February 2019. Finally, with totally 6 times these operations, continuing chemotherapy may be maintaining his QOL and prognosis.
