    Abstract:
    A woman in her 50s received a detailed examination for her abdominal pain. CT indicated intestinal wall thickening of the ascending colon, lymphadenopathy, and tumor embolism in the superior mesenteric vein. Colonoscopy revealed type 2 tumor in the hepatic flexure of the colon, and she was diagnosed as having moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma by biopsy specimen. She received 12 courses of FOLFOXIRI plus BV therapy after ileostomy. As the tumor embolism disappeared and the primary lesion shrank after chemotherapy, right hemicolectomy and lymph node dissection were performed. Six months after surgery, she has had no recurrent disease. This case suggests that FOLFOXIRI plus BV therapy could be an effective treatment for right colon cancer with tumor embolism.
