Abstract

The patient was a 65-year-old man who underwent a left hemi-colectomy for advanced descending colon and higher rectal carcinoma. After 3 months from the initial surgery, he complained of frequent bowel movement. Colon histology revealed anastomotic recurrence. Consequently, a histological diagnosis of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma was made, and an operation with Microtaze coagulation therapy (MCT) was performed. The tumor diffusely invaded the small intestine, left ureter, and presacral space. Radiotherapy was applied to the pelvic region at a total dose of 60cGy. Chemotherapy with FOLFILI was administered for 1 cycle. However, the tumor continued to grow rapidly, and the patient died 9 months after the initial surgery. It is suggested that intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy is necessary for high-risk patients with peritoneal dissemination.
