Abstract
Significance
Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a high incidence and mortality rate, with lung metastasis being the second most common site. Current treatments have limited efficacy, and novel approaches are needed.
Approach
We report a case of a middle-aged female with CRC and lung metastasis treated with four cycles of PDT and five cycles of systemic therapy, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.
Results
After treatment, the lung metastases showed cystic changes, and the primary tumor significantly regressed (TRG: AJCC 0, Becker 1a). The patient successfully underwent surgical treatment.
Conclusions
This multimodal therapy shows promise in CRC lung metastasis, offering new insights for treatment.
