Abstract:
A 39-year old patient with gastric adenocarcinoma stage IV failed to respond to preoperative chemotherapies containing 5-FU and cisplatin as well as 5-FU and irinotecan. After third-line chemotherapy with two cycles of docetaxel and cisplatin we confirmed a clinical partial response. A complete histologically confirmed remission was detected after complete resection of the tumor. Following two postoperative cycles of docetaxel and cisplatin, the tumor is still in complete remission after more than eight years.
