  • Title: [A case of sigmoid colon cancer in a patient undergoing hemodialysis treated by tegafur/uracil/folinate].
    Author: Miyazawa T, Chida T, Hasegawa S, Iwafuchi Y, Kamimura A, Watanabe G.
    Journal: Gan To Kagaku Ryoho; 2008 Jan; 35(1):149-51. PubMed ID: 18195547.
    Abstract:
    The patient was a 59-year-old man who had undergone hemodialysis because of chronic renal failure. The patient was diagnosed as colonic perforation due to stricture of sigmoid colon cancer, and sigmoidectomy was performed. Since colonic perforation and imperfect lymphnode dissection might increase the risk of recurrence, the patient underwent 6 courses of tegafur/uracil/folinate(UFT/LV)chemotherapy. No adverse events occurred in the course of chemotherapy. UFT/LV chemotherapy may be administered safely with careful management even for a patient on hemodialysis.
