[A case of neurotoxicity reduced with goshajinkigan in modified FOLFOX6 chemotherapy for advanced colon cancer].
In performing FOLFOX (infusional 5-FU/LV with oxaliplatin) for advanced colorectal cancer, neurotoxicity of oxaliplatin (L-OHP) is the serious dose limiting factor. On the other hand, goshajinkigan is recently considered as an effective agent for the neurotoxicity of taxanes in Japan. We have applied goshajinkigan (TJ 107) for a case of advanced colon cancer with mFOLFOX 6, and experienced a reduction in numbness, the adverse effect of LOHP. A 57-year-old woman with descending colon cancer (H 1, P 3, Stage IV) underwent hemicolectomy D 2, rt.colectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, cholecystectomy and transverse colonostomy. After operation, mFOLFOX 6 was applied. In order to reduce the neurotoxicity of L-OHP, TJ 107 was used together from the third course. The severities of neurotoxicity before and after administration of TJ 107 were grade 2 and 1,respectively. TJ 107 could reduce or prevent the neurotoxicity of L-OHP.
