[A case of rectal cancer with synchronous multiple liver metastases successfully treated with combined chemotherapy of modified FOLFOX6 and bevacizumab].

We report here a case of rectal cancer with synchronous multiple liver metastases successfully treated with a combined chemotherapy of modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6) and bevacizumab. A 49-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to constipation and anorexia. Abdominal ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a rectal tumor (Rs) and abdominal abscess and 11 mm hepatic nodular lesion in S3 and 21 mm and 14 mm hepatic nodular lesions in S4. We diagnosed the patient had penetrated rectal cancer (Rs) and multiple liver metastases. We underwent a low anterior resection with D3 lymphadenectomy for the first time. After the operation, an 8 mm new liver metastasis in S6 appeared. We performed a combined therapy of mFOLFOX6 and bevacizumab 16 days after post operation. After the 8th course, there were a notable reduction in S3 and S4 liver metastases, and S6 liver metastasis was unidentifiable upon imaging. At this point, we underwent liver left lobectomy using the Liver Hanging Maneuver Method. After the second operation, there has been no recurrence and same chemotherapy is being continued.
