A Case of Rectal Cancer with Multiple Liver Metastases Curatively Resected after Systemic Chemotherapy

A 61-year-old man complainingof bloody stool was diagnosed with advanced rectal cancer with multiple liver metastases (cT3[A]N1M1a[H2], cStage ). We introduced bevacizumab combined systemic chemotherapy prior to radical surgery and confirmed tumor shrinkage in both the primary tumor and liver metastases following systemic chemotherapy. We performed laparoscopic lower-anterior resection, and then the patient underwent liver metastases resection. The histologic evaluation was Grade 2. This was a pathologically curative resection, and the patient has been disease-free since the last operation.
