Abstract
- A 55-year-old man with locally advanced rectal carcinoma and liver metastasis was treated with a combination of chemo-radiotherapy (5-FU suppository 100 mg/day and 63 Gy of RT), hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (5-FU 1,000 mg/3 h, biweekly), and systemic chemotherapy (5'-DFUR 800 mg/day + cimetidine 800 mg/day). His rectal tumor was reduced and his symptoms such as pain and bleeding had markedly decreased. The river metastasis did not change during the entire course. HAI and administration of 5-FU suppository, 5'-DFUR, and cimetidine were continued. As of 18 months after the onset of the combination therapy, NC has been maintained, and the general condition of the patient is favorable.
