Abstract: | A 56-year-old woman with multiple lung metastases and lymphangiosis carcinomatosa due to recurrent rectal cancer was treated with chemotherapy of modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6) regimen: l-leucovorin (l-LV 200 mg/m(2)) and oxaliplatin (L-OHP 85 mg/m(2)) were given as a 2-hour infusion followed by bolus injection of 5-FU 400 mg/m(2) and a 46- hour infusion 5-FU 2,400 mg/m(2) every two weeks. Since partial response was achieved and dyspnea was remarkably improved, she was discharged without oxygen therapy after 5 courses. |
