Abstract

We report a case of pseudomyxoma peritonei treated with combination chemotherapy. A 73-year-old woman was diagnosed as having psuedomyxoma peritonei originated from the vermiform appendix. Appendectomy was performed, and 10 mg of MMC was administered intraperitoneally. From day 7, 600 mg/day of 5'-DFUR was orally given for 2 years, and 20 mg of CDDP once a month was intraperitoneally administered seven times. The patient has been doing well with no evidence of tumor recurrence for two years after operation. Combination chemotherapy with CDDP and 5'-DFUR, as a biochemical modulation therapy, has fewer side effects and leads to better quality of life of patients. We recommend a combination chemotherapy with low-dose CDDP and 5'-DFUR for patients in poor general condition.
