[A case of advanced rectal cancer responding to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with CPT-11, 5-FU and l-LV after coronary artery bypass graft]. Gan to kagaku ryoho. Cancer & chemotherapy, 2008, Volume: 35, Issue:5 A 75-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of lower rectal cancer. Unstable angina attack occurred after admission and cardiac angiography revealed stenosis of three coronary arteries which were treated by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty unsuccessfully. Coronary artery bypass graft was performed after colostomy. It is possible for operative stress, extracorporeal circulation and blood transfusion to diminish immunocompetence and increase the risk of recurrence. Therefore, CPT-11/5-FU/l-LV combination therapy (CPT-11 80 mg/m(2), 5-FU 500 mg/m(2), l-LV 250 mg/m(2) day 1, 8, 15 every 5 weeks) was carried out as neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The tumor decreased in size, and the level of tumor marker was normalized after two courses of the combination therapy. The patient is alive without recurrence three years after abdominoperineal resection.

A 75-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of lower rectal cancer. Unstable angina attack occurred after admission and cardiac angiography revealed stenosis of three coronary arteries which were treated by percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty unsuccessfully. Coronary artery bypass graft was performed after colostomy. It is possible for operative stress, extracorporeal circulation and blood transfusion to diminish immunocompetence and increase the risk of recurrence. Therefore, CPT-11/5-FU/l-LV combination therapy (CPT-11 80 mg/m(2), 5-FU 500 mg/m(2), l-LV 250 mg/m(2) day 1, 8, 15 every 5 weeks) was carried out as neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The tumor decreased in size, and the level of tumor marker was normalized after two courses of the combination therapy. The patient is alive without recurrence three years after abdominoperineal resection.
