[Regression of adenomas in Gardner's syndrome induced by systemic chemotherapy].

Abstract
A 31-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with Gardner's syndrome and sigmoid colon cancer. Palliative resection (sigmoid colectomy) was performed due to hepatic and lymph node metastasis. Systemic chemotherapy with MMC, 5-FU and PSK was started postoperatively. Barium enema study on the 23rd successive post-operative day and fiberscopic study on the 134th post-operative day showed regression of the size and number of the polyps in the remaining colon and rectum. We suggest that the administration of anticancer drugs may be useful in the treatment of familial polyposis or Gardner's syndrome which have been treated with only surgical therapy.
