We report a case of a woman in her sixties having primary duodenal carcinoma with multiple liver metastases who was treated with oxaliplatin in combination with infusional 5-fluorouracil/Leucovorin (FOLFOX regimen). After completing 2 courses of the chemotherapy, computed tomography showed a partial response without any severe adverse events. Now at 8 months, the PR stage has been maintained. So far, no standard therapeutic strategy for metastatic duodenal carcinoma has been developed. However, we suggest a FOLFOX regimen can be highly effective as a safe approach for continuously maintaining the quality of life of patients with this rare type of cancer.
