Abstract
A 61-year-old man tested positive for occult urinary and fecal occult blood and was diagnosed with invasive prostate cancer extensively infiltrating the rectum. After scrutiny, he was diagnosed with cT4N1M0 prostate cancer, and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was initiated with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist. A prostatic rectal resection was performed 6 months after ADT began. The bladder and urethra were anastomosed, the anus was preserved intact, and the sigmoid colon was anastomosed to the anus. A temporary ileostomy was constructed to allow eating and to prevent fistula formation. The ileostomy was closed 5 months post-operation as the patient wanted to live without a stoma. Although the patient died of other disease factors, he remained untreated for 1 year and 7 months post-operation, and his symptoms and disease control were well supported. We report that we were able to perform stoma-free surgical treatment for prostate cancer extensively infiltrating rectum.
