title: [A case report; 5'-DFUR reduced gastric cancer with multiple liver metastasis].
abstract: We describe a case of gastric cancer with multiple liver metastasis that clearly decreased in size after administration of 5'-DFUR. The patient (a 63-year-old male) was inoperable because of multiple liver metastasis. 5'-DFUR 600 mg/day reduced the size of the multiple liver tumors (reduction rate 90%, partial response for four months), but the gastric tumor was unaltered. A rapid decrease in alkali-phosphatase indicated reduction of the liver tumors only one week after the initiation of 5'-DFUR.
