[Long-term survival after neck lymph node metastases from sigmoid colon cancer--a case report].
We report a 73-year-old female who had been operated on for sigmoid colon cancer and neck lymph node metastases. Tumor size was controlled by systemic chemotherapy for about 3 years. During the chemotherapy, toxicity over grade 2 was not observed and good QOL was maintained on an outpatient basis. It is suggested that low-dose systemic chemotherapy may be useful for patients with poor general status.
