Popis: A 63-year-old male had multiple liver metastasis about 7 months after right hemicolectomy. Combination chemotherapy of 5'-DFUR and MMC was started about 2 months after the diagnosis of recurrence. The abdominal US showed a remarkable decrease in size and number of liver metastatic foci 4 weeks after the beginning of this therapy. As this response was continued for 18 weeks by abdominal CT, this was considered to be a case of partial response (PR). We consider that the combination chemotherapy of 5'-DFUR and MMC is available for patient having recurrent colon cancer with multiple liver metastasis.
