Abstract:
A 57-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for treatment of gastric cancer presenting as a type 2 tumor in the lower third of the stomach. According to pre-therapeutic imaging examinations and laparoscopy, she was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer, cT4a(SE)N2M0, Stage Ⅲ. Therefore, neoadjuvant chemotherapy was planned, and she received the SOX regimen. After 3 courses of chemotherapy, post-therapeutic imaging examinations showed that the primary gastric tumor and metastatic lymph nodes had reduced in size. We performed distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Final pathological examinations demonstrated that no viable tumor cells remained in the resected stomach and dissected lymph nodes (Grade 3). SOX may be useful as neoadjuvant chemotherapy to improve prognosis in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Herein, we report a case of advanced gastric cancer with pathological complete response after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the SOX regimen.
