| Abstract: | A 72-year-old man was admitted with melena. Colonoscopy detected an advanced rectal cancer. CT scan revealed the prostate was invaded. We decided to start a systemic chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6). The chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6) was performed six times. After the treatment with chemotherapy, the tumor shrunk. Abdominoperineal resection of rectum was done, and a final pathological examination revealed a complete response of the main tumor. |
