A case with liver resection of metastasis from rectal cancer after FOLFOX4+bevacizumab treatment]

We report a 59-year-old woman with rectal cancer who underwent low anterior resection in March 2007. After curative operation at Stage IIIb(pT3N2M0), multiple liver metastasis was diagnosed in May 2007. Chemotherapy with FOLFOX4+bevacizumab was performed from June to August in 2007, and liver resection(left lobectomy and partial resection)was performed in September 2007. Bevacizumab was newly available from June 2007 in Japan, and liver resection after bevacizumab administration was safely performed.
