Abstract:
We experienced a case of curative resection as a multidisciplinary treatment for unresectable gastric cancer that attributed to peritoneal disseminations and direct invasion to other organs.Two courses of triplet chemotherapy(DCS therapy)were performed under enteral stent placement and nasoenteral nutrition for direct infiltration into the transverse colon with entire circumference stenosis.Distal gastrectomy and right hemicolectomy were performed as conversion therapy, and R0 resection was achieved.After the operation, S-1 as adjuvant chemotherapy was performed and there has been no relapse survival for 13 months since the operation.From this case, it seems that conversion therapy plays an important role in prognosis extension as a treatment strategy for Stage IV gastric cancer.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
