[A Super-Elderly Patient with Recurrent Colon Cancer with Metastasis Effectively Treated with Capecitabine plus Bevacizumab Chemotherapy-A Case Report].
Аннотация
The safety and feasibility of chemotherapy for elderly patients is unclear. We report a super-elderly patient with liver metastases from colorectal cancer successfully treated with capecitabine plus bevacizumab chemotherapy. An 87-year-old woman underwent a colectomy for transverse colon. At 4 months postoperatively, she underwent hepatectomy for liver metastases. At 9 months after the first surgery, a new liver metastases(S4)was found. At this time, she rejected another hepatectomy. Therefore, we selected capecitabine plus bevacizumab chemotherapy, considering her age. After 18 courses of administration, the liver metastasis did not progress, and no new metastatic lesions were found on CT examination. Although as adverse events Grade 2 hand-foot syndrome developed, no other adverse event occurred. The patient's PS score was maintained at 0. We suggest capecitabine plus bevacizumab chemotherapy is an effective regimen for super-elderly patients with colorectal cancer.
