A 60s woman with upper rectal cancer underwent low anterior resection; the patient was diagnosed with pSSN1, Stage Ⅲa cancer. She received adjuvant therapy with UFT. Three years after the primary resection, metastasis to the right ovary and local recurrence were diagnosed. She was treated with CAPOX plus bevacizumab(Bev), capecitabine, FOLFIRI, and irinotecan plus S-1. Because only the ovarian metastasis increased rapidly, we were able to perform surgery and R0 resection. Two years after resection, local recurrence became apparent, and chemotherapy was reinitiated. After treating the patient with chemotherapy and chemo-radiation therapy for 2 years, R0 resection was performed. Twelve years after primary tumor resection and 9 years after primary resection, we observed recurrence-free survival.
