Abstract

We attempted S-1 administered five days a week from March, 2004 for an 84-year-old female harboring Borrmann type 1 gastric cancer because her family did not agree to her gastrectomy. After treatment for 1 month the lesion changed into a shallow ulcer. The lesion was clinically diagnosed with CR about 3 months later. As of October, 2006, 2 years after inducing CR, we have been administering S-1 to the patient, with no regrowth of the tumor.
