[A case of an aged woman with advanced gastric cancer which dramatically responded to combined chemotherapy with UFT and mitomycin C].
An aged female patient with inoperable gastric cancer was treated with a combined chemotherapy using UFT and Mitomycin C. She was diagnosed as having Borrmann type-1 gastric cancer, which was revealed to be well differentiated adenocarcinoma. Both gastrofiberscopy and X-ray pictures showed a reduction in the size of the gastric cancer. As a result of this therapy, partial response (PR) was obtained, and the response was maintained for more than 7 months.
