Abstract

A 44-year-old male presented to our hospital with abdominal pain. The upper endoscopy revealed advanced gastric cancer. On the abdominal CT, there was evidence of multiple, massive liver metastases. After total gastrectomy, the patient was treated with daily oral administration of 120 mg TS-1 for 4 weeks followed by 2 weeks' rest and 6 weekly infusions of 10 mg CDDP in an intra-hepatic artery as 1 cycle. On the follow-up CT, the liver metastases had decreased significantly both in size and number after 2 cycles. The current case suggests that TS-1 and CDDP may have a potent therapeutic efficacy in cases of advanced gastric cancer with multiple liver metastases.
