ABSTRACT
A 70s woman with advanced rectal cancer(AV 3 cm, type 2)was diagnosed as cT3N2M1a, Stage â £(UICC, TNM 8th) and underwent total neoadjuvant therapy(TNT)consisted of preoperative 5 Gy×5 short course RT followed by 5 courses of CAPOX plus BEV and CAPOX. Post-treatment endoscopy revealed nearCR, MRI failed to identify the primary tumor, and the mesenteric and lateral lymph node enlargement had disappeared. The patient underwent robot-assisted low anterior resection, bilateral lymph node dissection, and temporary ileal colostomy. Postoperative pathological findings were ypT0N0M0, Stage 0, and the efficacy evaluation was TRG 0(AJCC)with no residual tumor including lateral lymph nodes. The patient was discharged on the 16th day without any postoperative complications and is currently alive 6 months postoperatively without recurrence.

We report a case of 72s male with locally advanced sigmoid colon cancer. Colonoscopy revealed an advanced sigmoid colon cancer(AV 15 cm, type 2, semi-peripheral, deeper than T3). He was diagnosed as cT4bN2M0, cStage â ¢c(Japanese Classification of Colorectal, appendiceal, and, Carcinoma, 9th edition), and was given chemotherapy as preoperative treatment. He was treated with CAPOX plus BEV as neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Preoperative diagnosis was ycT4bN0M0, ycStage â ¡c. The robot assisted high anterior resection and partial bladder resection were performed. The bladder was sutured under robotic assistance. The residual bladder capacity was 100 mL. Postoperative diagnosis was ypT0N0M0, ypStage 0, TRG 0 (AJCC). We experienced a case of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for rectosigmoid colon cancer with bladder invasion, which resulted in pCR.

74-year-old woman was diagnosed with locally advanced unresectable transverse colon cancer. She started CAPOX therapy as first-line therapy after ileostomy. After second course, MSI-high was detected, so nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination therapy was started as second-line therapy. After 4 courses of combination therapy, she was judged to be in partial response and surgery was performed. Histopathological diagnosis of the surgical specimen showed complete response, and she is still alive without recurrence 15 months after surgery.

A 80s man was diagnosed circulated type 2 colon cancer at the transverse colon, and pathological findings was adenocarcinoma( por1). Genomic findings were microsatellite instability-high(MSI-H), all RAS wild type and BRAFV600E mutated. Contrast-enhanced CT showed an enlarged lymph nodes(#221, #222, #223, #214)along the middle colic and superior mesenteric artery. Clinical diagnosis was a locally advanced unresectable transverse colon cancer, cT4aN3M1a(LYM), cStage â £a. Drug therapy with pembrolizumab was prescribed. Six months later, contrast-enhanced CT and PET demonstrated remarkable shrinkage of the primary tumor and lymph nodes except 2 peri-colic enlarged lymph nodes. Primary lesion turned almost undetectable, however the biopsy demonstrated residual tumor. Two months later, CT showed that the residual lymph nodes had also disappeared.

Cisplatin (CDDP) is a key drug in the systemic treatment of various solid tumors. Brand-name CDDP may differ across generic formulations considering various clinical parameters. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to assess the safety of a generic CDDP formulation. To compare brand-name CDDP with a generic formulation, the incidence of adverse events, especially renal toxicity, was investigated in 500 patients with thoracic malignancies who received chemotherapy with more than 60 mg/m2 of either brand-name or generic CDDP. We compared the maximum serum creatinine (Cr) level after chemotherapy in the 2 groups. The correlation coefficients between the pretreatment Cr and the maximum Cr after CDDP administration did not differ between brand-name CDDP and generic CDDP (0.610 and 0.644, respectively; p=0.528). Furthermore, the correlation coefficients did not differ in subgroup analysis according to sex or adjuvant therapy. The severity of adverse events was similar in the 2 groups. In conclusion, generic CDDP can safely be used as an alternative to brand-name CDDP in the clinical setting.
