title: [A case of surgical approach to the recurrence of the para-aortic lymph nodes after resection of rectal cancer].
abstract: A 63-year-old female diagnosed as rectal cancer underwent low anterior resection and received adjuvant chemotherapy (folinate/tegafur/uracil therapy). After 6 months, lymph node metastasis was confirmed by an elevation of the tumor marker (CEA) and a FDG-PET image. After administration of 37 courses of mFOLFOX6 therapy, surgical excision was performed to the lymph node recurrence, because it was difficult to continue mFOLFOX6 therapy with grade 3 neuropathy. After 8 months from the last operation, no lymph node metastasis was appeared in the para-aortic area.
