Abstract

We report a case of recurrent gastric cancer patient with peritoneal dissemination who obtained a long-term survival and QOL by multi-modality therapy. A 54-year-old woman underwent a total gastrectomy against type 4 gastric cancer (por 2 ss ly1 v1 n0, pT2 pN0 sH0 sP0 sCY0 sM0, fStage IB). After two years, multiple stenoses due to peritoneal dissemination occurred consecutively. Multi-modality therapy combining operation, chemotherapy, and IVR was applied. Symptoms due to stenoses were decreased and a long-term survival was successfully acquired.
