    Abstract:
    A 71-year-old man underwent low anterior resection for rectal cancer. Two years after the surgery, liver metastasis and local recurrence were found on the CT scan. The first-line treatment was systemic chemotherapy (CPT-11 and 5'-DFUR). Effect was satisfactory for local recurrence, but a new liver tumor was found on the CT scan. The second-line treatment was a hepatic arterial infusion (5-FU) and systemic chemotherapy (UFT). After 4 courses, the liver metastasis was reduced, but after 5 courses, the liver tumors had enlarged. The third-line treatment was a hepatic arterial infusion (5-FU + levofolinate) and systemic chemotherapy (UFT). After 5 courses, the liver tumor disappeared, and no other recurrence was found on the CT scan.
