Abstract
A Chinese man who had undergone a curative high anterior resection for sigmoid cancer was administrated XELOX (capecitabine and oxaliplatin) as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. He subsequently developed sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) that resolved on discontinuation of XELOX treatment. Genetic evaluation determined that he had the GSTT1-null and GSTM1-null genotype, known to be an independent risk factor for developing oxaliplatin-induced SOS.
