ABSTRACT
A 68-year-old female with rectal cancer underwent low anterior resection with regional lymph node dissection. The final pathological diagnosis was Stage â
¢a, and an adjuvant therapy(S-1)was provided for 6 months. One year after the surgery, an anastomotic recurrence was detected. Therefore, pelvic chemoradiotherapy with folinic acid and 5-fluorouracil(FL)was provided, and resection was performed with the Hartmann procedure. Following the second surgery, chemotherapy with bevacizumab(BV)and capecitabine plus oxaliplatin(CapeOX)was provided, and the patient showed no signs of recurrence for several years. However, lung metastasis appeared, which was resected. A year later, the patient underwent hepatectomy and radiofrequency ablation for liver metastasis. Another year later, she underwent lung resection again because of new lung metastasis. During the periods between the surgeries, various chemotherapy regimens were followed continuously, however, the patient died of progressive recurrence 8 years and 4 months after the initial surgery. Recurrences and distant metastases are poor prognostic factors for rectal cancers. However, combined effective chemotherapy and radiotherapy with surgery may improve the patient's chances of survival.
