A 77-year-old male had been operated for ascending colon cancer with liver metastases. After hepatic artery injection therapy and CPT-11 plus 5'-DFUR combination therapy, oxaliplatin-based systemic chemotherapy was performed. Consequently, the tumor size was controlled for about 10 months. During the chemotherapy, we observed grade 3 neurological toxicity, but not grade 3-4 blood toxicity. Thus, the QOL of the patient was properly maintained. We conclude that the oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy may be useful for patients suffering 5-FU and CPT-11 resistant metastatic colorectal cancer in Japan.
