Abstract

A 68-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital because of unfit to treat his recto-sigmoidal cancer massively invaded to bladder at the former hospital. During drug administration to treat heart failure, we could perform a transverse colostomy and initiated mFOLFOX plus Pmab. During chemotherapy, he improved malnutrition. After 7 courses, CT scan showed a marked reduction in tumor diameter, which was PR. Since his nutritional and heart status were improved, he underwent a high anterior resection with partial bladder resection. Pathological findings showed that a few cancer cells were remained at bladder and bowel wall. He was diagnosed as Stage Ⅱc. His postoperative course was almost uneventful. No symptom of recurrence has been observed at 9 months after surgery without adjuvant chemotherapy.
