[A case of colon cancer with liver and lung metastases-efficacy of CPT-11/5-FU/l-LV (IFL) as part of ambulatory treatment].

In July 2003, a 59-year-old man underwent a right hemicolectomy for sigmoid colon cancer. Hepatic intraarterial injection therapy with 5-FU/CDDP was not only ineffective against a liver metastasis but a lung metastasis was also found, and therefore systemic chemotherapy with CPT-11/5-FU/l-LV (IFL) was administered. After onetime IFL therapy, the CPT-11 was withheld due to ileus.
