[Systemic chemotherapy and surgery for recurrent metachronous liver metastases with peritoneal dissemination from triple colon cancers-a case report].

Although the first-line treatment for liver metastases arising from colorectal cancer is surgery, it is unknown whether this treatment is equally effective for liver metastases with peritoneal dissemination. We report a case of long-term survival after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy and surgery for metachronous liver metastases with peritoneal dissemination from triple colon cancer. A 76-year-old man with a history of stage III descending colon cancer developed recurrent localized peritoneal dissemination and multiple liver metastases 30 months after surgery. He underwent partial liver resection, partial peritoneal resection, and 8 courses of capecitabine plus oxalitlatin (XELOX). There has been no disease recurrence 75 months after the initial surgery. While though there is no consensus for treatment of liver metastasis with peritoneal dissemination, surgery combined with systemic chemotherapy may be beneficial.
