A 60-year-old man diagnosed as advanced sigmoid colon cancer was performed sigmoidectomy and D3 lymph node dissection. Intra-operative findings were SE, P0H1N4M (-), and Stage IV. One month after the operation, we started a combination chemotherapy using S-1 plus CPT-11 as one course for five weeks. S-1 (120 mg/body/day) was orally administered continuously for 3 weeks, and CPT-11 (80 mg/m2) was done intravenously on days 1 and 15. A Follow-up abdominal CT scan revealed a drastic reduction of liver metastasis and disappearance of para-aortic lymph node swelling (PR in). The combination chemotherapy was once finished after eight courses due to the patient's request. However, we started to administer the same regimen to him again six months later because of re-growth of liver metastasis. An additional six-course administration resulted in a reduction of liver metastasis by CT scan, and no other abnormal concentration besides two liver metastases by PET-CT examination was observed, and we performed a partial resection (two parts) of the liver and cholecystectomy 24 months after the first operation. The patient has been alive with disease free for five months since the second operation.
