摘要
Symptomatic colorectal cancer in extremely elderly patients is difficult to treat. A 97-year-old woman was initially suspected of having appendicitis because of worsening right lower abdominal pain with persistent fatigue. After antimicrobial therapy, advanced cecum cancer with lymph node involvement was found. Palliative laparoscopy-assisted ileocecal resection without radical lymph node dissection was performed to prevent further inflammation. The patient was transferred to another hospital for rehabilitation on postoperative day 24, when she regained walking function. This palliative procedure can be an effective treatment for elderly patients with symptomatic advanced colon cancer.
