Abstract

A 74-year-old female was performed distal gastrectomy (f-T3N0H0P0CY0M0, Stage II) for gastric cancer in 2003. After 14 months, CT scan showed a metastasis in S7 segment of the liver. We performed chemotherapies until seventh-line and radio-frequency ablation (RFA). It finally got a long-term survival of 36 months postoperatively. RFA may be one of the useful therapies of liver metastasis from gastric cancer.
