[A case of lung metastases of colon cancer demonstrating complete response for more than five years after treatment with UFT]

Abstract

A 77-year-old woman had a laparoscope assisted ileocecal resection for ascending colon cancer with multiple lung metastases in December 2003. The patient who had postoperative complication such as anastomotic leakage left the hospital in March 2004. UFT was administered from April 2004 to June 2006. One year after administration of UFT, CT showed the lung metastases had been disappeared and the level of CEA was decreased below normal. Recurrence was not observed for 62 months.
