ABSTRACT
We report the case of a patient with advanced colon cancer receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy that was able to continue systemic chemotherapy by performing mild partial splenic embolization (PSE) for thrombocytopenia caused by splenomegaly due to oxaliplatin. Mild PSE may be useful for thrombocytopenia due to splenomegaly in cancer patients because it provides more treatment opportunities.
