- W3167864469 abstract "Background A 76-year-old woman underwent a low anterior resection in May 2000 for a moderately differentiated Dukes' C adenocarcinoma of rectum. She started to take futraful and leucovorin as adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. A chest X-ray taken 7 months later was reported as having an irregular soft tissue nodule in right middle lung field. A subsequent computerized tomography (CT) scan of chest confirmed the lesion. A thoracotomy was suggested; however, the patient refused surgery. She also refused needle biopsy of the lung lesion for making a definite diagnosis. Case summary The patient had been continuously taking futraful and leucovorin as chemotherapeutic agent; in July 2001 she was switched to tegafur-uracil (UFUR) and leucovorin. She was admitted in October 2005 for shortness of breath. After conservative management, her condition improved and she was discharged. The patient still refused any workup for tissue diagnosis and any further aggressive treatment. Since then, she had been continuously taking UFUR and leucovorin then. An abdominal CT scan of in December 2009 was negative for metastasis. Several ultrasound examinations were also reported as having no metastasis in the follow-up period. A chest CT scan did show slow enlargement of the lung metastasis. Her carcinoembryonic antigen level was 3.85 ng/mL prior to surgery, and then fluctuated between 2.42 ng/mL and 6.34 ng/mL. In spite of progressive enlargement of the mass in her lung, the patient is asymptomatic and living well by herself. The only medication she is taking at the moment is UFUR and leucovorin. Conclusions This case suggested that long-term survival could be observed in a patient with metastatic disease from rectal cancer without aggressive chemotherapy. The metronomic effect of UFUR and leucovorin might be contributory to the patient's long-term survival. Elevation of CEA level is not necessarily observed with the presence and progress of metastasis of rectal cancer." @default.
