A 55-year-old man underwent Miles' operation with a diagnosis of rectal leiomyosarcoma in 1990. From 1998 to 2004, he had liver and lung metastases and local site recurrent tumors which were removed surgically. Immunohistochemically the recurrent tumor was positive for c-kit and CD34, and the diagnosis of GIST was confirmed. He took an adjuvant imatinib mesylate for half a year in 2004. In July 2005, he had a recurrent tumor in upper mediastinum. We restarted an imatinib after radiation therapy, and got a clinical CR. After he had interstitial pneumonitis in 2009, he stopped taking inmatinb. Then he took sunitinb for two months after an operation for the sixth local recurrence in February 2010. But the upper mediastium recurrent tumor occurred again in November 2010. We restarted sunitinb and got a clinical PR. The patient is now alive and well for 21 years after the initial operation by combined therapies. |
