| pubmed-article:19151578 | pubmed:abstractText | The patient was a 73-year-old male. Under a diagnosis of advanced cecal colon cancer with metastasis to Virchow's and paraaortic lymph nodes and lungs, a laparoscopic-assisted ileocecal resection with D2 lymph node dissection was performed. Histological examination of the resected specimens revealed moderately-differentiated adenocarcinoma which had invaded the terminal ileum. The lesion was judged to be SI(ileum), N2, H0, P0, M1(Virchow's lymph node, No. 216, lungs), Stage IV. After the operation, he received chemotherapy with 5-FU/l-LV(RPMI method), LV/UFT, FOLFOX, FOLFIRI in succession, and cancer aggravation was generally controlled. He has survived for 3 years since operation, and shows good QOL under the treatment. | lld:pubmed |
