[A case of advanced gastric cancer showing complete cure by immunochemotherapy with FT-207 and OK-432 confirmed by thorough histologic examination of total gastrectomy matter].
A 57-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of epigastric tumor on Jan. 16, 1980. Two advanced gastric carcinomas were recognized in the antrum and the corpus by X-ray and endoscopic examinations. The biopsy diagnosis was poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma. She was treated with FT-207 suppositories and subcutaneous injection of OK-432 without operation because of a suspicion of ascites and Virchow's metastasis. After five months, the tumor of the corpus disappeared, and, after nine months, that of the antrum changed to a scarlike lesion. On July 30, 1981, total gastrectomy with extended nodal dissection was performed. Histological examination revealed complete absence of carcinoma cells in the stomach and regional lymph nodes.
