Abstract

A 54-year-old man suffering from Borrmann type 4 advanced gastric cancer with pancreatic invasion and paraaortic lymph node metastases underwent a total gastrectomy, which was a radical C operation. From postoperative month 4, he visited our hospital with multiple liver metastases and increased lymph node metastases. After chemotherapy with CDDP and 5-FU, CDDP and UFT was administered on an outpatient basis. The effect of this therapy was PD, therefore, docetaxel and 5'-DFUR combination chemotherapy was performed as second line therapy. After 2 courses of this therapy, the size of liver and lymph node metastases was reduced and the effect of this therapy was PR. The patient has undergone 4 courses of this therapy and is maintaining a clinical PR. It is conceivable that docetaxel and 5'-DFUR combination chemotherapy is useful for patients with advanced and recurrent gastric cancer, even if they had been treated with 5-FU administration as first line therapy.
