    Abstract:
    A 74-year-old woman was diagnosed with advanced rectal cancer and stenosis. To resolve the rectal stenosis, we successfully placed an expandable metallic stent across the stenosis. After stent placement, food intake improved, and a good quality of life was maintained. Subsequently, the patient received systemic chemotherapy with modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6). The tumor responded remarkably to chemotherapy, and the patient did not experience any complications. After 2 courses of mFOLFOX6, the patient underwent high anterior resection. The postoperative course was satisfactory, and she has now been disease-free for 6 months after surgery.
