[A case of multiple hepatic and peritoneal metastases from colon cancer responding to oral UFT+leucovorin chemotherapy].
A 57-year-old woman underwent right hemicolectomy (D3) due to transverse colon cancer with multiple liver and peritoneal metastasis. Administration of oral UFT+Leucovorin was started postoperatively. After 6 months, the multiple liver metastases completely disappeared without any adverse reaction. After 14 months, no other recurrence was found by CT scan. This case suggests the usefulness of oral UFT+Leucovorin for progressive recurrent colorectal cancer as home chemotherapy.
