[A Case of a Patient with Multiple Liver Metastases of Colorectal Cancer with Relapse-Free, Long-Term Survival and Responding Completely to Chemotherapy after Primary Lesion Resection].

A 64-year-old man who suffered from colorectal cancer with multiple liver metastases underwent laparoscopic low anterior resection. He did not undergo partial liver resection. He was treated with mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab chemotherapy.

[A Case of Laparoscopic Hartmann's Operation for Perforation of Rectal Cancer in Superior Elderly People].

We report a case where home discharge was possible after laparoscopic Hartmann's operation for superior elderly perforation of rectal cancer. The patient was 91-year-old, a woman. She was delivered to the emergency room complaining of weakness.

Utility of Laparoscopic Subtotal Cholecystectomy with or without Cystic Duct Ligation for Severe Cholecystitis.

We use open cholecystectomy (OC) to treat severe cholecystitis in cases in which we are worried that inflammation might cause anatomical changes in Calot's triangle. Furthermore, in cases of severe cholecystitis in which marked inflammation leads to fibrosis, we perform subtotal cholecystectomy (SC), i.e.

[Long-Term Survival of a Patient with Stage IV Breast Cancer and An Intrathoracic Space-Occupying Metastatic Lesion].

A 50-year old woman noticed left axillary lymph node swelling and presented at our hospital. CNB showed adenocarcinoma( pap-tub, ER+, PgR+, HER2 3+). CT revealed a right lung metastatic nodule and swollen lymph nodes above the left collarbone and left axilla.

[A case of breast cancer with large cancer ulcer and multiple bone and liver metastasis responding to combination therapy of radiation and chemotherapy].

We report a case of breast cancer in a 58-year-old female patient. In 2005, she was hospitalized for therapy of left breast cancer. The tumor observed was accompanied by invasion of the skin and ribs.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor in a Patient with Neurofibromatosis: Abscess Formation in the Tumor Leading to Bacteremia and Seizure.

A 66-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) was brought to the emergency room with seizures and high-grade fever. Seizure in adult NF1 patients raises concern for intracranial lesions. However, neurological examination and central nervous system imaging failed to detect any causative intracranial lesions for her seizure.

[A case of S-1-resistant gastric cancer with multiple bone metastases and disseminated intravascular coagulation--effective treatment by combined chemotherapy with CDDP and CPT-11].

A 49-year-old female with advanced gastric cancer complicated with peritoneal dissemination underwent distal gastrectomy, and thereafter she was treated with a combined chemotherapy of S-1 and paclitaxel for 5 months, followed by treatment with S-1 alone. A year after the gastrectomy, she developed disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) with multiple bone metastases despite the continuous treatment with S-1, indicating that S-1 was no longer effective. She was then effectively treated by a combined chemotherapy with cisplatin(CDDP)and irinotecan hydrochloride (CPT-11), and DIC subsided within 7 days after the treatment.

[Partial response of liver metastasis from colon cancer following intermittent oral administration of TS-1 after intra-hepatic arterial single injection of CDDP, doxorubicin and 5-FU].

An intrahepatic arterial injection of CDDP, doxorubicin and 5-FU, followed by 17 courses of oral TS-1 administration (80 mg/day x 14 days, q=28 days), induced a partial response for 9 months after 18 months of stable disease in a 76-year-old male with asynchronous liver metastasis due to ascending colon cancer. TS-1 showed an excellent anticancer effect against colorectal metastatic liver cancers for a long time without loss of QOL or safety.
