Abstract:
We reported 2 cases with advanced gastric cancer, successfully treated with TS-1 and CDDP. Case 1 had Type 3 gastric cancer with left supra-clavicular (Virchow) and para-aortic lymph node metastases. Those distant node metastases completely disappeared after two courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) consisting of TS-1/ CDDP, and radical surgery for cure was conducted. The second case had Type 3 carcinoma with peritoneal dissemination. The primary lesion significantly decreased after four courses of the combination chemotherapy. The patient has been alive for 1 year and a half after 14 courses of TS-1/CDDP with stable disease. Significance of TS-1/CDDP in far advanced gastric cancer was discussed.
