[A Resected Case of UR-LA Pancreatic Tail Cancer with Aortic Invasion after Chemoradiotherapy].

A 70-year-old male was referred to our hospital because of weight loss and epigastric discomfort. CT showed an irregularshaped, low-density tumor, 12 cm in diameter in the tail of the pancreas. This tumor widely invaded to the left kidney and to the anterior and left lateral sides of the aorta in spite of no involvement of celiac and superior mesenteric arteries. Moreover, it closely contacted with the stomach and the spleen. EUS-fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the tumor detected adenocarcinoma. Thus, he was diagnosed with UR-LA pancreatic cancer with aortic invasion. He received combination chemotherapy(S-1 plus gemcitabine[GEM])and 50.4 Gy 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, but this therapy had no expected effect. We changed the regimen to GEM plus nab-PTX. After 1 course of changed regimen, the tumor ruptured into the stomach and endoscopic debridement of the necrotic tissue was performed. Twenty-six days later, We performed distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, total gastrectomy, left nephrectomy, left adrenalectomy, and segmental resection of the colon. The tumor was detached from the aorta as much as possible. The final diagnosis was pT3N0M0, pStage II A. Fifty-nine days after operation, we restarted GEM plus nab-PTX therapy. However, a cerebral infarction suddenly occurred, and we discontinued the chemotherapy. Five months after the operation, he died of cancerous peritonitis.
