[A Case of Surgery after Chemotherapy for Cecal Cancer with Onset of the Stenosis of the Colostomy].

Abstract
The patient was 55-year-old woman, undergoing Hartmann operation by the sigmoid colon diverticulum perforation, 2 years later visited our hospital with abdominal pain. Although lower endoscopy and histological examination could not be performed due to stoma stenosis, we diagnosed cecal carcinoma, liver metastasis, distant lymph node metastasis from CT and PET-CT, CapeOX plus Bmabtherapy and IRIS plus Bmabtherapy were performed. After that, repeated intestinal obstruction due to exacerbated stoma stenosis, metastatic lesion increased in CT examination, furthermore the patient had hope of stoma closure, we decided to resect the primacy tumor, performed subtotal colonectomy and stoma closure. Pathological diagnosis revealed RAS wild type. After surgery, Pmabplus CPT-11 therapy was performed and the metastatic lesion was temporarily shrunk but re-exacerbated, the patient died 2 years 2 months after the first treatment started, 7 months after the primary tumor resection. In the treatment of colorectal cancer, when metastatic lesion is unresectable, chemotherapy is often carried out except when the primary tumor is symptomatic. In our case, although the primary tumor was asymptomatic, an intestinal obstruction due to stoma stenosis was developed and it was necessary to examine whether to use anti-EGFR antibody drugs, therefore we performed operation.
