Abstract

A 64-year-old woman was diagnosed with Stage IV gastric cancer with lymph node and multiple liver metastases. She was treated with 6 courses of chemotherapy, in 3-week courses, with capecitabine (1,000 mg/m/(2)) plus cisplatin(80 mg/m(2)) administered for 2 weeks, followed by a drug-free week. She underwent curative total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection and reconstruction by using the Roux-en-Y method. The postoperative pathological findings revealed a T3 (SE), N1M1, Stage II B tumor; the tumor was determined to be Grade 1b owing to the chemotherapeutic effect. Postoperatively, only S-1 therapy was administered, because of the development of Grade 3 hand-foot syndrome. The patient is alive 1 year and 8 months after the initial gastrectomy.
