We report a case of 70-year-old man who was admitted to our hospital due to hematemesis in June 2004. He was diagnosed by gastroscopy as having a type III moderately-poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed multiple lymph nodes swelling (#13, #16), finally he was diagnosed with gastric cancer stage IV (cT3, cN3, cM1). He was treated with S-1, but lymph nodes swelling increased in size, and then in March 2005, the treatment was changed to a second-line chemotherapy consisting of CPT-11 and CDDP. Abdominal CT scan showed a remarkable reduction of #16b1 lymph node, and the second-line chemotherapy was continued until 23 courses. But in April 2007, gastroscopy revealed the enlargement of gastric lesion. He was treated by third-line chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel and doxifluoridine. This therapy was effective and continued until 7 courses. However, the treatment gradually became resistant and he died in May 2008, which was 4 years since the initial diagnosis.
