[A case of recurrent colon cancer developed thrombosis in superior mesenteric vein after chemotherapy].

A 48-year-old man was administered bevacizumab+FOLFOX for lymph node recurrence of colon cancer in the abdominal cavity, and developed serious thrombosis of the portal system after 6 courses of the chemotherapy. We discontinued it promptly and anticoagulant therapy with urokinase was started immediately, but a complete dissolution was not achieved. Preservation therapy using anticoagulants for a long duration was effective for controling the of clinical symptom of thrombosis. The result of 6 courses of chemotherapy was CR, and the effect continues today, without further treatment 2 years later.
