A Case of Immediate Anastomotic Leakage After Low Anterior Resection for Rectal Cancer.

A man in his seventies was referred to our hospital for radical therapy for advanced rectal cancer with multiple liver metastases. A colonic stent had already been placed in his rectum at the previous hospital because of malignant colorectal obstruction, so our therapeutic strategy was to perform systematic chemotherapy after resection of the primary tumor. Laparoscopic low anterior resection with a covering stoma was performed under general anesthesia.

[A Case of Recurrent Breast Cancer with Drug-Induced Interstitial Pneumonia Triggered by the Switch from an Original to a Generic Aromatase Inhibitor].

We report the case of a 72-year-old woman who had undergone mastectomy for left breast cancer 9 years ago and had received anastrozole for 6 years after the operation. A year ago, she experienced a breast cancer recurrence in the thoracic wall and lymph nodes and was re-administered anastrozole, leading to a shrinking of the recurrent tumor. After the change from anastrozole to a generic product 2 months ago, she experienced respiratory distress.
