Abstract

Three cases with unresectable advanced gastric cancer with liver metastases were successfully treated by the combination therapy of TS-1 and cisplatin( CDDP). TS-1 (1.25 m2>: 80 mg/day, 1.25 m2-1.50 m2: 100 mg/day, > or =1.50 m2: 120 mg/day) was administered orally for 14 consecutive days followed by 14 days rest,and a 24-h infusion of CDDP (70 mg/m2) was administered on day 8 of each course. Treatment was repeated every 4 weeks unless disease progression was observed. Partial response was obtained in all of the following three advanced gastric cancer cases with liver metastases. Case 1: 67-year-old male with Borrmann type I gastric cancer with multiple liver metastases. Case 2: 55-year-old female with multiple liver and lymph node metastases whose primary gastric lesion was surgically resected. Case 3: 53-year-old-male with Borrmann type III gastric cancer with liver and lymph node metastases. TS-1/CDDP therapy can be highly recommended for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer with liver metastases.
