[Pancreatoduodenectomy for locally advanced ascending colon cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6)].

A 69-year-old man was referred to our hospital with the chief complaint of a palpable abdominal mass. Computed tomography and colonofiberscopy revealed that a large type 2 ascending colon cancer had invaded the duodenum and pancreas. To down-size the tumor, chemotherapy was planned and a FOLFOX regimen was effective; we therefore decided to perform a radical operation. The patient is still alive and disease-free 1 year and 8 months after the surgery.
