JOURNAL ARTICLE
[A Case of Alcoholic Liver Disease Presenting as Prominent Accumulation of Ascites Associated with Liver Damage Due to CapeOX].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2017 September
A 75-year-old man with rectal cancer had consumed an average of6 6 g of alcohol per day for 47 years. However, his liver function was within normal limits and his Child-Pugh classification was A before initiation of therapy. He underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation and a low anterior resection. The patient then received CapeOX as an adjuvant therapy. During the fourth cycle of CapeOX, computed tomography(CT)showed massive ascites. The chemotherapy was discontinued and treatment including a diuretic agent was initiated. The ascites gradually decreased and 8 months after the discontinuation of CapeOX, CT showed neither the presence ofascites nor recurrence ofthe cancer or metastasis. When a patient has a history ofexcessive alcohol intake, even iftest results for liver function are within normal limits, we should be aware ofthe hepatic toxicity ofCapeOX.
