Abstract

We treated a 65-year-old female with gastric cancer who underwent peritoneal dissemination after 6 successive weeks of paclitaxel intraperitoneal therapy (90 mg/body), and obtained a disappearance of ascites and a reduction of the primary carcinoma. Operative findings: U ant, type 5, 26x20 mm, por, T2, n1(+), H0, P0, CY0, M0, stage II, and grade 2. A weekly paclitaxel intraperitoneal therapy could be a useful for both peritoneal dissemination and the primary carcinoma of advanced gastric carcinoma.
