[A Case Report of Sigmoid Colon Cancer with Para-Aortic Lymph Node Metastases and Multiple Liver Metastases Resected after FOLFOX Therapy].

The patient, a male in his 70s, visited our hospital with a chief complaint of general fatigue and weight loss. Upon a detailed examination, he was diagnosed with sigmoid colon cancer, para-aortic lymph node metastases, and multiple liver metastases, for which he was hospitalized due to a poor performance status(PS). FOLFOX therapy was administered as the symptoms caused by the primary lesion were not recognized and his general condition was considered to be poor and thus he was deemed to be inoperable. After completing 2 courses of the chemotherapy, although his PS improved, laparoscopic sigmoidectomy was carried out with colonic stent placement due to the occurrence of an intestinal obstruction as a result of an enlargement of the primary lesion. Following surgery, 2 courses of FOLFOX therapy and 4 courses of FOLFOX plus bevacizumab therapy were administered and he is alive at 5 months after the operation without progression.
