A 37-year-old man was diagnosed as having a rectal cancer with familial adenomatous polyposis, with the mutation of APC gene, and gastric polyposis, hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and a lipoma of the left arm. The patient underwent a total colectomy for the rectal cancer and a partial resection of the liver for metastasis (S3) which was detected on laparotomy, followed by cannulation in the hepatic artery. After the operation, 5-FU alone and low doses of CDDP and 5-FU were administered, but the level of serum CEA elevated and CT scanning showed multiple liver metastases. Then, low doses of leucovorin (30 mg/body bolus) and 5-FU (500 mg/body/h) were injected through an injection port every week. After 6 months, the level of serum CEA reduced and CT scanning showed minor response (about 30% on the decrease rate), without side effects, including diarrhea, stomatitis and bone marrow suppression.
