The patient was a 61-year-old woman who had Stage IV advanced gastric cancer with Virchow's and paraaortic lymph node metastases. The lesions were considered surgically incurable, so she was placed on neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of low-dose CDDP and 5-FU. After 3 courses of chemotherapy, the tumor had decreased remarkably in size and Virchow's metastasis had disappeared. She was considered to have a partial response (PR) and underwent distal gastrectomy. Histopathological examination of the primary tumor revealed that almost all cancer cells existed in the mucosal and submucosal layers; few had infiltrated the serosa. A few paraaortic lymph nodes were positive for metastasis, but a curative resection (Cur B) was performed. The patient received another course of chemotherapy after the operation. Low-dose CDDP and 5-FU therapy was associated with few adverse events in this case, and thought to be effective against advanced gastric cancer.
