Abstract

Intensive chemotherapy plus molecular targeted agent improve overall survival for patients with unresectable colorectal cancer.We performed laparoscopic surgery following intensive chemotherapy of mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI plus molecular targeted agent for 3 patients with unresectable locally advanced colorectal cancer with abscess formation.A 60-year-old man was diagnosed as having unresectable rectal cancer with abscess formation and underwent curative resection after partial response following chemotherapy.A 42-year-old woman was diagnosed as having unresectable sigmoid colon cancer with abscess formation and underwent curative resection after partial response following chemotherapy.A 56-year-old woman was diagnosed as having unresectable sigmoid colon cancer with abscess formation and underwent curative resection after partial response following chemotherapy.They are alive after surgery for 69, 74 and 72 months, respectively.Intensive chemotherapy plus molecular targeted agent for unresectalbe locally advanced colorectal cancer with abscess formation will be one of useful strategies for minimum invasive surgery and effective local control.
