Abstract:
We report a case of advanced gastric cancer with simultaneous liver metastasis in which long-term survival has been obtained by multimodal therapy. Case 75-year-old, male. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed advanced type 2 cancer in the greater curvature of the angular incisure. Computed tomography showed a single 20 mm mass was found in liver S2. Histopathological findings indicated that differentiated adenocarcinoma(tub1, HER2 3+). Diagnosis was gastric cancer, cT4aN0M1HEP, Stage Ⅳ. Tumor shrinkage was obtained after 2 courses of capecitabine/cisplatin/trastuzumab. Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy and partial liver resection was performed. Histopathological findings indicated tub1, ypT4aN0M1HEP, ypStage Ⅳ, grade 1a. A single 10 mm recurrence was observed in liver S1/2 13 months after first surgery. After chemotherapy, rehepatic resection was performed. Three years have passed since the last hepatectomy, and the patient is currently undergoing recurrence-free follow-up.
