Abstract

A case is a 46-year-old woman visited us with a chief complaint of bloody stools. A diagnosis of rectal cancer(Rs)was made, and laparoscopic resectomy plus D3 was performed. After progressing to pT4a(SE)N2, M0, pStage III b, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy(6 courses of XELOX)was administered. Two months after initiating chemotherapy, since the CEA value increased, chest abdominal CT was performed. Five nodules were found in the bilateral lungs and diagnosed as lung metastases(PUL2). Systemic chemotherapy(IRIS plus BV)is administered to PUL2(Grade C)of rectal cancer metachronous metastases. After 3 courses, the effect judgment was SD. Based on the recurrence period from postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and the findings during this time, it was judged that weight loss surgery was appropriate for the rectal cancer lung metastatic lesions in which chemotherapy was ineffective, and partial resection of both lungs under thoracoscopic assistance was performed. Systemic chemotherapy(TAS-102 plus BV)was initiated to prevent postoperative recurrence. The patient is currently alive without relapse after 12 months. We reported a case of metachronous metastasis of colon cancer in which multidisciplinary treatment was successful.
