Abstract:
We report a patient with advanced gastric cancer responding remarkably to neoadjuvant combination chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel and S-1. The patient was a 65-year-old female who had large type 2 advanced gastric cancer with severe lymph node metastasis(cT3, cN3, cH0, cP0, cM0, cStage IV), treated with paclitaxel/S-1 as neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After the second course, according to UGI, gastroscope and CT findings, a significant tumor reduction was obtained. Distal gastrectomy with D2 nodal dissection were performed. The histological diagnosis was pT1, pN1, pStage IB. The histological effect of main tumor was judged to be Grade 2. The patient has now been in good health without a recurrence for 10 months after surgery. This case suggests that neoadjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel/ S-1 is a potential regimen for advanced gastric cancer.
