[A Case of Performed Right Colectomy with Pancreato-Duodenectomy for Transverse Colon Cancer Invased to Duodenum].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2018 April
There is a clear consensus regarding the combined resection of organs with cancer invasion, patients with colon cancer. However, there are very few reports to our knowledge regarding the use of pancreato-duodenectomy(PD)for colon cancer patients with cancer invasion in the duodenum. We here report a colon cancer patient in whom we performed PD and right hemicolectomy, who showed favorable results with no recurrence. The patient was a 69-year-old woman. Her chief complaint was hypogastric pain. Her previous doctor performed colonoscopy and a colonoscopic biopsy, and detected a type 2 lesion, throughout the entire circumference of the transverse colon near the liver, and she was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. From further imaging analyses, she was diagnosed as having transverse colon cancer with invasion into the superior mesenteric vein(SMV), duodenum, and pancreatic head, and No. 223 lymph node metastasis. The patient's cancer was concluded to be unresectable, and she underwent chemotherapy, namely mFOLFOX6 with cetuxiumab(Cmab). One course of mFOLFOX with Cmab, the patient decided to consult our hospital for a second opinion. We concluded that her cancer was resectable, so we performed PD, right hemicolectomy, and resection and reconstruction of a part of the SMV. The operation time was 5 hours 17 minutes, and total blood loss was 190 mL. The histopathological diagnosis was tub2, T4b(duodenum and, tissue surrounding the SMV), int, INF b, ly1, v2, PN1b, EX(+)/ND(PN+, v+), PM0(25 cm), DM0(14.3 cm), N1(1/ 20), H0, P0, M0, pStage III a. She was discharged 15 days after surgery with no complications, and thereafter received ajduvant chemotherapy(capecitabine with oxaliplatin)as an outpatient. After 3 courses, capecitabine with oxaliplatin was changed to capecitabine because she developed a nervous system disorder, and she was further treated for approximately about 6 months. She is doing well at the time of writing, with no recurrences for 2 years. We suggest that PD should be performed on colon cancer patients in which the colon cancer has invaded other organs and has been evaluated as being unresectable.
