A case of advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma accidentally, but successfully, treated with capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (CAPOX) therapy combined with bevacizumab: a case report

چکیده
Although surgical resection is the only way to cure biliary tract cancer (BTC), most BTCs are unresectable by the time they are diagnosed. Chemotherapy is usually used to treat unresectable BTC, but its impact on survival is small. Here, we report the case of a 70-year-old woman with a locally advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma that was initially diagnosed as an unresectable liver metastasis from colon cancer that had invaded all of the major hepatic veins. However, the tumor was noticeably reduced after treatment with CAPOX plus bevacizumab, which is an uncommon therapy for BTC. The tumor was finally resected by inferior right hepatic vein-preserving left hepatic trisectionectomy combined with a resection of the right hepatic vein after a right hepatic vein embolization.

Combined KRAS and TP53 mutation status is not predictive in CAPOX-treated metastatic colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND The response of colorectal tumours to chemotherapy is highly variable. Preclinical work has shown that the Kirsten ras (KRAS) oncogene sensitizes colorectal tumour cells to oxaliplatin and capecitabine in a wild-type tumour suppressor p53 (TP53)-dependent manner. Therefore, whether or not the combined mutation status of KRAS and TP53 could predict response to chemotherapy in metastat...

Para-aortic lymph node recurrence is a rare type of metastasis from colorectal cancer, and no treatment has yet been established. Here, we report on a case of isolated para-aortic lymph node metastasis from rectosigmoid cancer that showed complete response to chemoradiation therapy with capecitabine/oxaliplatin plus bevacizumab. A 58-year-old woman underwent high anterior resection for rectosig...

A Complete Response Case in a Patient with Multiple Lung Metastases of Rectal Cancer Treated with Bevacizumab plus XELIRI Therapy
It has been reported that many patients with lung metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) underwent chemotherapy with fluorouracil, folinic acid, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, or capecitabine. There is a small number of reports about the capecitabine and irinotecan (XELIRI) plus bevacizumab (BV) therapy for patients with metastatic CRC in Japan. We report a case of successful BV+XELIRI therapy for rec...
