A Case of Colorectal Cancer with Bladder Invasion Treated Ileal Neobladder for Urinary Bladder Replacement

A 56-year-old man presented to our hospital with melena, and was diagnosed as having locally advanced sigmoid colon cancer invading the trigone of the bladder(cT4bN0M0). mFOLFOX6 plus panitumumab was administered as a preoperative chemotherapy. After 6 courses of administration, the main tumor shrunk but the bladder invasion remained. We explained to the patient that resection of the bladder was necessary for radical treatment of the tumor. As he refused a urostomy for urinary reconstruction, we chose ileal neobladder reconstruction and performed lower anterior resection plus total cystectomy, which resulted in pathologically curative resection. No recurrence and almost no urinary incontinence occurred during the 8 months after the operation. Although further follow-up is required, our present case indicates that ileal neobladder may be a useful reconstruction option for patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer who undergo total cystectomy.
