Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Gastric cancer, particularly Borrmann type 4, presents significant treatment challenges.
  • Calcification in advanced gastric cancer is a rare but critical pathological feature.
  • Understanding calcification mechanisms is vital for improving patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 31-year-old female with Borrmann type 4 calcified advanced gastric cancer exhibited progressive calcification.
  • Calcification expanded into the stomach wall and peritoneal metastatic sites.
  • The patient received systemic and intraperitoneal chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Findings:

  • Despite multimodal treatment including lentinan, uracil tegaful, mitomycin C, OK-432, and prednisolone, the patient's condition progressed.
