Abstract

We have experienced a successful case of liver metastasis from gastric cancer treated with S-1 plus induced hypertensive hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy. A 50-year-old man had undergone distal gastrectomy with extended lymphadenectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Although he was given 100 mg/day of S-1 for postoperative adjuvant therapy, an abdominal CT scan showed a liver metastasis at the hepatic segment 6 after 3 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy. Then, intra-arterial hepatic cannulation connecting to a subcutaneously implanted port system was indwelt via left subclavial artery. Mitomycin C (10 mg) was injected through out the induced hypertension with intravenously-administered angiotensin II once a month. After he received three courses of this combination chemotherapy, the liver metastasis has disappeared on CT scan and a complete response (CR) has been maintained.
