Abstract
- A 65-year-old woman underwent iliocecal resection for cecal cancer. During post-operative follow-up, she was diagnosed with metastasis to the abdominal wall and a curative resection was performed. After 12 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy with a modified combination of folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFOX6), recurrence was noted in the lung. A curative resection was successfully performed and she was subsequently treated with bevacizumab and a combination of folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI). One year after surgical resection, recurrence in the remnant lung was diagnosed. Because of the KRAS mutation, she could not be treated with anti-epidermal growth factor antibodies. The metastatic lung tumor continued to enlarge. Therefore, we selected regorafenib as third-line chemotherapy. After treatment with regorafenib, the size of the target lesion decreased significantly.
