A 77-year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of dyschezia. Computed tomography (CT) and colonoscopy (CF) revealed a huge sigmoid colon cancer invading the bladder and seminal vesicle. Chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6 was initiated preoperatively, and the tumor shrunk markedly after seven courses of treatment. Pelvic exenteration with negative margins was carried out. The patient is still alive and disease-free 16 months after surgery. It was suggested that mFOLFOX6 may be useful for advanced colon cancer invading other organs when used as neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
