Abstract

A 70-year-old woman was admitted to a local hospital because of anal pain during defecation. Anoscopy revealed an anal mass lesion, and the patient was referred to our hospital. Colonoscopy revealed an anal canal tumor with ulceration, and biopsy showed squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was treated with chemoradiotherapy(chemotherapy with capecitabine plus mitomycin C and 54 Gy radiation in the anal region)and achieved complete response. However, metastatic recurrence was detected in a lymph node in the hepatic hilar region. We administered an S-1/CDDP combination chemotherapy (5 courses). For 3 years and 5 months since the initial treatment, the patient survived with no signs of recurrence. We report a rare case of long-term survival with S-1/CDDP for distant metastasis of anal canal squamous cell carcinoma after chemoradiotherapy.
