- Immediate decompression and chemotherapy are essential for patients with obstructive colorectal cancer and liver metastasis.
- In a case study, two patients received systemic chemotherapy after having self-expandable metallic stents (SEMS) placed due to obstructive sigmoid cancer.
- The chemotherapy caused shrinkage of tumors, which allowed for SEMS adjustment and the introduction of an anti-VEGF drug, resulting in successful treatment without complications.
