    Abstract:
    A 76-year-old man had undergone a right hemicolectomy for cecal cancer. Oral UFT (450 mg/day) administration alone was started 2 months following the operation. From a CT scan of the abdomen performed 3 months postoperatively, he was diagnosed with liver metastasis. Because the liver metastasis had progressed, combination oral administration of UFT+LV was started (UFT 450 mg/day, LV 75 mg/day, 4 weeks of therapy followed by a 1-week treatment break). After 1 cycle, a good partial response of that lesion was achieved. The pulmonary metastasis had almost disappeared to within normal limits. In conclusion, this treatment was very safe and effective.
