Abstract

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most frequently diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer‑related mortality worldwide. Treatment options for patients with advanced CRC recurrence and metastases remain limited, particularly for those unable to withstand chemotherapy. Bruscea javanica oil emulsion (BJOE) and Aidi injection (ADI) are two plant‑derived products that have antitumor effects. The current report presents the case of a patient with colon cancer and resectable lung metastases. Despite the surgical removal of the metastatic lesions, tumor recurrence was not prevented. The patient underwent three chemotherapy regimens following lung metastasis surgery, namely XELOX, single‑agent irinotecan and single‑agent tegafur‑gimeracil‑oteracil potassium capsule, but experienced intolerable adverse reactions with each, and disease progression was observed during subsequent follow‑up. Nonetheless, the patient achieved a progression‑free survival of >5 years under BJOE + ADI treatment and continues to receive BJOE + ADI treatment to date. Although further research is required to understand the effectiveness of this treatment combination, the present case may instill hope in the treatment of future patients.
