Abstract
Background: Timely and successful treatment of chemotherapy-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ensures continued antitumor therapy in patients with cancer. Severe diarrhea can lead to dehydration and refusal of further cytostatic treatment. We present a clinical case of severe gastrointestinal toxicity requiring complex intensive therapy.
Case description: A 63-year-old male diagnosed with stage IV infiltrative ascending colon cancer with multiple liver metastases, T3N1M1, underwent four cycles of antitumor therapy following the FOLFOXIRI regimen (oxaliplatin, irinotecan, leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil) combined with bevacizumab, which was later discontinued due to thrombotic events. After the fifth cycle of FOLFOXIRI chemotherapy, grade 3 diarrhea developed, leading to dehydration and requiring complex intensive therapy, including TGF-β2-enriched enteral nutrition. The intervention was successful, enabling timely continuation of chemotherapy.
Conclusion: Considering the pathophysiology of drug-induced diarrhea, additional outpatient TGF-β2-enriched enteral nutrition should be recommended. This approach may reduce systemic disorders and aid in the prevention and rapid resolution of intestinal toxicity.
