Abstract:
A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital owing to weight loss and vertigo. Endoscopic examination revealed advanced gastric cancer type 2. Abdominal CT showed a 62mm liver tumor in segment 4 and a 26mm tumor in segment 8. Distal gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection were performed. After surgery, he was administered chemotherapy with S- 1. After 2 courses of treatment, the tumors' in segments 4 and 8 were reduced to 52mm and 16mm, respectively. No other metastases were detected. Left lobectomy and partial resection of segment 8 were performed. The pathological therapeutic effects were rated as Grade 1b for the tumor in segment 4 and Grade 3 for the tumor in segment 8. After hepatectomy, he was administered adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 for 1 year. No recurrence has been detected for 4 years and 6months after hepatectomy.
