BACKGROUND/AIM: Recent advances in chemotherapy have increased the possibility of conversion hepatectomy for patients with initially unresectable liver metastases. Although long-term chemotherapy and subsequent extensive hepatectomy are becoming more common, the toxicities of such chemotherapies are unclear.
We present a case report of a patient with metastatic colorectal cancer who developed severe encephalopathy with lactic acidosis and hyperammonaemia caused by 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy. Administration of vitamin B1 and continuous haemodiafiltration rapidly improved the patient's symptoms.
Intensive treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer patients with 5-fluorouracil can induce rare adverse events.
背景/目的:化疗方面的最新进展增加了对初始不可切除肝转移患者进行肝切除术转化治疗的可能性。尽管长期化疗及随后的广泛肝切除术越来越普遍,但此类化疗的毒性尚不清楚。
我们报告一例转移性结直肠癌患者,其因基于5-氟尿嘧啶的化疗发生严重脑病并伴有乳酸酸中毒和高氨血症。给予维生素B1及持续血液透析滤过迅速改善了患者症状。
对转移性结直肠癌患者进行5-氟尿嘧啶强化治疗可引发罕见不良事件。
