[Three Cases of Preoperative Chemotherapy(FOLFOXIRI plus Bevacizumab)for Locally Advanced Colorectal Cancer with Urinary Bladder Invasion].

Radical cystectomy for locally advanced colorectal cancer with urinary bladder invasion significantly reduces the quality of life in exchange for a cure. We performed preoperative chemotherapy with FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab for 3 patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer with urinary bladder invasion to avoid radical cystectomy and to achieve local control for urinary bladder preservation. Grade 3 neutropenia was observed in 2 patients as an adverse reaction to the preoperative chemotherapy, but all 3 patients showed good tumor regression. All 3 patients underwent laparoscopic high anterior rectal resection and partial cystectomy, and all were able to undergo R0 resections with urinary bladder preservation. One patient had anastomotic leakage as a postoperative complication. One patient had local recurrence in the urinary bladder, and 2 had recurrence with peritoneal dissemination during their postoperative courses. Preoperative chemotherapy(FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab)for locally advanced colorectal cancer with urinary bladder invasion is considered to be a useful treatment option because of its potential for tumor shrinkage and bladder preservation.
