Some patients had distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis without surgery opportunity. It is particularly important to prolong patient survival and improve quality of life.Patient Concerns: A 73-year-old female was admitted with discomfort over 2 months. Enlarged lymph nodes in the left supraclavicular fossa were observed in chest computed tomography (CT). Enhanced abdominal CT showed thickening of the right colon wall with multiple metastatic lymph nodes in the abdomen. Colonoscopy showed ileocecal mass and pathology showed moderately and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. Physical examination showed a 2*2 cm lymph node could be touched in the left supraclavicular fossa. The patient was diagnosed advanced colon cancer by the histopathological examination and imaging findings. Actually, it is hardly to resect radically.Intervention: Sintilimab combined with XELOX was initiated. Two period of treatment after initial therapy, laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer was performed successfully.Outcomes: After conversion treatment, the enlarged lymph nodes and primary tumor were significantly reduced. The patient was discharged successfully three weeks after surgery. Both specimen and 14 lymph nodes dissected showed no malignancy in pathology. Tumor regression grading (TRG) is 0, which indicate complete regression with no residual tumor cells including lymph nodes. The patient obtained a pathological complete response (pCR).Lessons: The patient achieved a great therapeutic benefit with the above-mentioned chemotherapy in this case. The case provides a potential reference for pMMR CRC patients treating with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).Keywords: immunotherapy, sintilimab, advanced colon cancer, pathological complete response, microsatellite stability, case report |
