RESUMO
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.

We report a case of locally advanced rectal cancer that could not be curatively resected, in which the patient underwent conversion surgery after chemotherapy. The patient is a 70-year-old woman. She came to our hospital with a chief complaint of lower abdominal pain, and a close examination revealed rectal cancer with invasion of the external iliac artery and pelvic wall. She was treated with mFOLFOX6 plus cetuximab for locally advanced rectal cancer that was not amenable to surgical resection. After 11 courses of chemotherapy, significant shrinkage of the tumor was observed, and robot assisted laparoscopic high-anterior resection was performed. The patient didn't relapse at 12 months after surgery without adjuvant chemotherapy.
