Abstract:
A 71-year-old man with Borrmann type 3 gastric cancer with multiple liver metastases had been treated with 5'-DFUR 1400 mg/m2/day, p.o. day 1-day 4/2w and CDDP 80 mg/m2 i.v. day 5/4w, which was repeated for 4 cycles. After 2 cycle treatment, all metastatic lesions in the liver disappeared on the computed tomography scan, indicating a complete response. The primary gastric lesion was reduced, indicating a partial response. There was no significant side effect during the 4 cycles of this therapy. He is alive 6 months after the therapy with a partial response. This 5'-DFUR and CDDP combination therapy seemed to be effective for advanced gastric cancer.
