A Case Report of SOX Therapy for an Elderly Patient with Hemorrhagic Primary Duodenal Carcinoma

BACKGROUND: Although pancreatoduodenectomy is recommended as a radical surgery for duodenal carcinoma, it has been reported that pancreatoduodenectomy in elderly patients has a high risk of surgical complications.

CASE PRESENTATION: A man in his 80's was diagnosed with advanced duodenal carcinoma, presenting with anemia(Hb 5.4 g/dL). Computed tomography scanning showed wall thickening in the descending leg of the duodenum, pancreatic invasion was suspected, and clinical diagnosis was Stage ⅡB(cT4N0M0). Although radical surgery was possible, the patient refused surgery considering the risks of surgical complications. The gastroduodenal bypass surgery was performed to control bleeding, and the patient was treated with S-1 plus oxaliplatin(SOX; S-1 100 mg/body, days 1-14; oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2, day 1 q21 days). After 6 courses of the SOX regimen, the wall thickening of duodenum disappeared, and SOX was switched to S-1 monotherapy (S-1 100 mg/body, days 1-28, q42 days)according to Grade 2 thrombocytopenia and decreased performance status. After 11 courses of S-1, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed that the tumor had disappeared, the biopsy of duodenum showed no evidence of malignancy, and chemotherapy was terminated. The patient has been followed up for 7 months without recurrence.

CONCLUSIONS: SOX for elderly patient showed efficacy against hemorrhagic duodenal carcinoma.
