[A case of colon cancer with pulmonary metastasis treated effectively by uracil futraful].
A 57-year-old female was admitted for advanced ascending colon cancer with a solitary pulmonary metastasis measuring 1.5 cm in diameter. As laparotomy revealed an absolute noncurable tumor of stage V (H0, p2, s2 n1 (+], palliative right hemicolectomy was performed. A pathological diagnosis of well differentiated adenocarcinoma was made postoperatively. A daily dose of 400 mg of UFT was given orally. After 8 months, plain chest film and tomography revealed a reduction in the size of the pulmonary metastasis to 1.0 cm in diameter. The metastatic lung tumor was controlled for a period of 1 year and 9 months. It was suggested that UFT was rather effective for pulmonary metastasis from colon cancer.
