The lesion was judged to be pT2, pN0, sP0, sH0, sM0 and Stage II, and the patient was treated on a regular schedule as an outpatient. Fourteen months after the first operation, liver metastases (S4, S5) were found and partial resections of the liver were performed. However, a recurrence had often been detected in the residual liver for five years afterwards. Liver resections had been repeated for four times before radiofrequency ablation was performed in January 2005. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with 5'-DFUR, 5-FU/l-LV (RPMI method), and TS-1. In January 2006, obstructive jaundice due to tumor growth occurred and a self-expandable metallic stent was placed in the narrowed portion of the intrahepatic bile duct. The patient is,currently undergoing FOLFOX4 and FOLFIRI regimens. | lld:pubmed |
