[A case of advanced colon cancer responding to treatment with levofolinate combined with 5-fluorouracil].

The patient was a 70-year-old man who had sigmoid colon cancer with multiple lung and paraaortic lymph node metastases. Sigmoidectomy was performed on August 3, 2001. After the operation, combined l-Leucovorin (LV) + 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was carried out. As a result, lung and lymph node metastases were reduced markedly and CEA level decreased. It is suggested that this combination therapy may be useful for advanced colon cancer patients.
