Complete pathological response of multiple huge liver metastases of colon cancer: a case report

Abstract: We report a case of a pathological complete response (pCR) with chemotherapy for multiple huge liver metastases from colon cancer. A 59-year-old woman presented with anorexia and weight loss. Laboratory tests revealed elevated liver enzyme levels and tumor markers. A computed tomography/positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan revealed a transverse colon tumor and unresectable liver masses measuring 9.0 cm in maximum diameter in segments 7 and 8, with another mass in segment 6. She underwent lapar… Show more

“…This resistance is an important obstacle to treatment that can result in chemotherapy failure in many cancers, including colon cancer ( 3 ). Therefore, the identification of safe and effective agents that specifically target drug-resistant cancers, is vital for the future treatment of colon cancer ( 4 6 ).…”

“…With the development of preoperative chemotherapy, new clinicopathological factors have emerged. Pathologic complete response (PCR), which is defined as the absence of any residual cancer cells, has been proven to confer an extremely favorable response to chemotherapy and can serve as an indicator of good prognosis [21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. However, its applicability to CRLM is limited because only approximately 5% of these patients achieve all-lesion PCR, with the vast majority achieving only partial-lesion PCR [23,28].…”
