A 65-year-old man had been receiving hemodialysis for chronic renal failure. We diagnosed colonic ileus with transverse colon cancer and synchronous multiple liver metastases(liver segments 4 and 6)based on symptoms of abdominal pain and distension. After stent placement in the region of the colonic stenosis, left hemicolectomy was performed for transverse colon cancer. After surgery, the patient received capecitabine plus oxaliplatin(CapeOX)therapy. The dose of capecitabine was 1,250mg/m2, and the dose of oxaliplatin was 70 mg/m2 until the second course, after which it was increased to 100 mg/m2 for the third course. Peripheral neuropathy(Grade 1)was the only adverse event observed. After 6 courses of treatment, the size of the liver metastases and the levels of tumor markers had reduced. For control of liver metastases, partial hepatectomy (liver segments 4 and 6)was performed. We report this case with a review of the literature.
