Abstract

We report a case of Stage IV gastric cancer showing pathological complete response(pCR)after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy( NAC)using S-1 and oxaliplatin(SOX).A woman 73-year-old was diagnosed as harming type 3 Stage IV gastric cancer with para-aortic lymph node(PAN)metastasis.She underwent 4 courses of NAC with SOX regimen.After the treatment, both the primary tumor and the metastatic PAN decreased in size remarkably.She underwent distal gastrectomy with D2 plus PAN dissection with curative intent.Pathological diagnosis revealed complete disappearance of cancer cells in both the primary lesion of the stomach and all dissected lymph nodes, confirming pCR.She is alive without recurrence 4 months after surgery.
