| Abstract: | We report a rare case of double (colon and lung) cancer which showed complete remission with chemotherapy with irinotecan (CPT-11) and cisplatin (CDDP). The patient was a 67-year-old man who was diagnosed as having double cancer (stage IIIb pulmonary adenocarcinoma and stage 0 [or 1] well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of the ascending colon). Two courses of chemotherapy (CPT-11, 60 mg/m2, days 1 and 8; CDDP, 30 mg/m2, days 1 and 8) were performed. The combination therapy of CPT-11 and CDDP was very effective. In Japan, there have been few published reports describing the use of CPT-11 for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer. We think that the use of CPT-11 in gastrointestinal cancer is promising.
