Abstract

A 71-year-old woman with advanced ascending colon cancer was admitted to our hospital. Abdominal computed tomography( CT)revealed locally advanced sigmoid colon cancer with suspected invasion of the liver and duodenum. The clinical stage of the disease was cT4bN3M1a, cStage Ⅳa, with wild-type RAS and UGT1A1 expression. An ileostomy was performed because of bowel obstruction. The patient received 6 courses of FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab(Bev). The only adverse event was Grade 3 neutropenia. Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with lymph node dissection was performed. The pathological diagnosis was the absence of viable, Grade 3 carcinoma cells. This result suggested that preoperative FOLFOXIRI plus Bev chemotherapy is useful for the treatment of locally advanced colon cancer.
