Abstract

A 67-year-old male patient with gastric cancer of Borrmann type 2 and liver and intra-abdominal lymph node metastases was treated by combined chemotherapy of TS-1 and CDDP TS-1 (100 mg/day) was administered for 14 days followed by 14 days rest as one course. CDDP (70 mg/m2) was administered in 24-hour continuous intravenous infusion at 8 days after the start of TS-1. After 3 courses of treatment, X-ray and endoscopic examinations revealed complete disappearance of the primary tumor and no cancer cells were detected by endoscopic biopsy. A CT-scan also showed complete disappearance of metastatic sites. This combined chemotherapy was finished after 5 courses, and no high grade toxicities (WHO grade 3 or 4), specifically nausea, diarrhea, or leucocytopenia, were seen. This TS-1/CDDP chemotherapy seemed to be effective for advanced gastric cancer in view of toxicities, antitumor effect and QOL of the patient.
