Abstract:
Objective: The overall survival time of colorectal cancer patients with hepatic metastasis is 6 months to 12 months, and is shorter in patients with synchronous pulmonary metastasis. Regular chemotherapy prolongs patient survival for up to 12 monthsto 24 months. The majority of colorectal cancer patients with liver metastasis die of hepatic lesions. The postoperative 5-year survivalrate is approximately 40 %. Radical resection is the optimal treatment for colorectal cancer case with hepatic metastasis. Radiotherapyand chemotherapy are needed for treating this disease. The current study presents a post-operative rectal cancer patient with synchronous hepatic and pulmonary metastases, who underwent a multidisciplinary team (MDT) therapy in this hospital. The multimodal treatment achieved a favorable curative effect for the patient. MDT treatment promotes comprehensive integration of colorectal cancer diagnosis and treatment strategies and experience, and it could enhance interdisciplinary communication and cooperation among medicalcolleagues in the same fields.
