Abstrakt: We report a case of recurrent colon cancer resistant to 5-FU, whose QOL and PS has been well maintained with low-dose CPT-11/CDDP administered on an outpatient basis for more than 28 months. A 42-year-old male had lymph node recurrence 27 months after curative resection of colon cancer. He had been administered pharmacokinetic modulating chemotherapy (PMC, oral tegafur/uracil plus fluorouracil infusion) after surgery. Combined treatment with CPT-11 (50 mg/m2)/CDDP (6 mg/m2) was performed on an outpatient basis. Nine months of NC was obtained without any severe side effect. Modified administration of this treatment with 5'-DFUR and TS-1 lead to further maintenance of quality of life and performance status. This case suggests the efficacy of low-dose CPT-11/CDDP for cases of 5-FU-resistant colon cancer in terms of QOL and PS.
